A genetic study was carried out on phenotype and gene frequencies of the genetic markers in eight red cell enzymes: glyoxalase I (GLO1), glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT), phosphoglucomutase (PGM1), esterase D (ESD), adenylate kinase (AK1), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), adenosine deaminase (ADA), acid phosphatase (ACP1), in the Hungarian ethnic group living in Yugoslavia. The gene frequencies obtained were: GPT*1 = 0.542, PGM1*1 = 0.760, ESD*1 = 0.909, AK*1 = 0.971, PGD*A = 0.971, ADA*1 = 0.939, GLO1*1 = 0.417, ACP1*A = 0.329, ACP1*B = 0.591 and ACP1*C = 0.080. The distribution of these phenotype and gene frequencies was examined and compared with the phenotype and gene frequencies found for the Hungarian population living in Hungary and for other populations living in the northeast of Yugoslavia.

A sample of the South Sardinia population was studied with respect to adenylate kinase (AK) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) enzymes. The gene frequencies were: AK1 0.975 and ADA1 = 0.933. The results were compared with those of other Italian populations.

A large collection of cultured human tumor cell lines was characterized for the phenotypes of 16 polymorphic enzyme loci: ACP1, ADA, AK1, ESD, FUCA, GLO1, GOT2, G6PD, ME2, PEPA, PEPB, PEPC, PEPD, PGD, PGM1, and PGM3 primarily to detect and monitor against cell line contamination. Among 100 highly characterized cell lines, 59 lines from different patients and 6 pairs of lines (each pair from the same patient's tumor) had unique phenotype combinations and were therefore presumed to be authentic, uncontaminated cell lines. Besides these 71 lines, the remaining 29 lines consisted of several small groups of two to three lines, each group having a different combination and being among the more frequent in the normal population. The 29 lines, therefore, were not suspected to be contaminants. Among unusual findings were the ME2 1 plus 2 phenotype determined for two bladder tumor lines, a G6PD A phenotype found in a line of Caucasian origin determined not to be a HeLa contaminant, and asymmetrical heterozygous phenotypes in several lines. Except for kidney tumor lines, there was no correlation of adenosine deaminase tissue isoenzymes between tumor lines and normal tissues of origin. For several enzymes significant deviations were found in proportions of the phenotypes observed in Caucasian cell lines from expected proportions on the basis of normal population data, indicating possible natural selection among these lines in tissue culture or among the patients of origin.

The genetic structure of the population of the urban and suburban area of the town of Pisa in Tuscany in Central Italy was studied in 1,174 adults residing in 4 zones in each of 3 sampling areas, using the phenotype and gene frequencies of 9 red cell enzymes. The area investigated has a surface of about 30 km2. The enzymes were: acid phosphatase (ACP1), adenosine deaminase (ADA), adenylate kinase (AK1), esterase D (ESD), glyoxalase I (GLOI), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), phosphogluco-mutase 1 (PGM1), and phosphoglycollate phosphatase (PGP). For the analysis of the distributions of phenotype and gene frequencies, standardised variances, kinship profiles, analysis of correspondences and isonymy were used. It was found that in this area genetic differentiation (possibly due to recent immigration) can be perceived even at short geographic distances, indicated by the significant regression of kinship on distance, especially visible in the ADA and GPT systems.
