Blood specimens from a sample of 373 Marshall Islanders were studied with reference to variants of 23 serum proteins and erythrocyte enzymes. Six of the traits studied exhibited genetic polymorphisms (adenosine deaminase, phosphoglucomutase1, acid phosphatase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, haptoglobin, and group specific component). There were in addition four "rare" variants (albumin, transferrin, lactate dehydrogenase, and galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) involving nine persons, among 8,503 determinations. The frequency of rare variants in Micronesians was compared with the frequencies in West European Caucasians and Amerindians. There are many difficulties in such comparisons, and although the observed values for the three ethnic groups differ by a factor of three (the Micronesians exhibiting the lowest frequency), it is felt that no firm conclusions concerning differences between ethnic groups can be drawn at this time.

The distribution of the genetic markers of leukocytes (HLA I and II), serum proteins (allotypes Gm, transferrin, haptoglobin, group-specific component), red cell enzymes (acid phosphatase--AP, phosphoglucomutase--PGM, esterase D, adenosine deaminase) was found to be universal in patients suffering from various pyoinflammatory diseases. The incidence of HLA A10, Cw4, DR5 antigens, IgG allotype G1m (2) and phenotype G1m (+1+2) and AP (aa) and PGM (2-2) phenotypes was found increased in patients with maxillofacial suppuration and pyoinflammatory complications of maxillofacial injuries as against normal subjects and patients with maxillofacial injuries without such complications. Traumatic osteomyelitis much more often develops in the carriers of the before genetic markers than in those in whom these markers are absent (61.6 and 20.4%, respectively).

The 3 red-cell polymorphic systems acid phosphatase (ACP), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and esterase D (ESD) have been studied in a random sample of 1,112 individuals from the Basque country: The allelic frequencies obtained were ACP*A = 0.275, ACP*B = 0.718 and ACP*C = 0.007; ADA*2 = 0.021, and, ESD*2 = 0.066. The allelic frequencies have been compared with those of other Basque and other European populations. In comparison with Basques, significant differences were detected only for ACP, whereas as regards other Europeans significant differences were obtained with practically all the populations compared for the 3 genetic systems studied. The low values of the less frequent alleles, especially that for the ACP*C allele which is the lowest reported in Europe, are noteworthy.

Analyses of pairwise associations between several erythrocyte genetic systems were performed on a sample from a Brazilian trihybrid population. The present paper confirms the association between the ACP1 and ADA loci, the acid phosphatase 1 and adenosine deaminase systems. The results indicate that both selection and racial admixture may influence this association.

Possible selective interaction between genetic polymorphisms of acid phosphatase locus 1 (ACP1) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been investigated in a sample of 211 infants from diabetic women, and in 350 consecutive infants from normal women. Newborns from diabetic pregnancies carrying the ADA2 allele show a lower proportion of BA and CB phenotypes (heterozygotes for the main allele of ACP1 system), compared with both their mothers and normal infants. The observation suggests that, in a diabetic environment, intrauterine selection may act against double heterozygotes for the ACP1 and ADA systems.

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 nonequilibrium isoelectric focusing method incorporating the chemical spacers MOPS and HEPES was developed and subsequently evaluated for its ability to reliably discriminate common and rare phenotypes in the esterase D (EsD), red cell acid phosphatase (AcP1), phosphoglucomutase (PGM1), adenylate kinase (AK), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) isoenzyme systems. The validation procedures used were blind testing, comparison of results to conventional methods, and evaluation of known rare variant phenotypes. This method proved to be a quick and reliable method for typing all five isoenzyme systems, while providing an excellent probability of discrimination (PD = 0.96).

The distribution of adenosine deaminase-containing neurons and fibers in the spinal cord and medulla was examined and the relationship of dorsal root ganglia neurons containing this enzyme to those containing somatostatin, substance P, fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase (FRAP) and 5'-nucleotidase was determined using immunohistochemical and histochemical methods. In the spinal cord adenosine deaminase-immunoreactive fibers and neurons were confined to layer I and IIo. A similar localization of these was observed in the spinal trigeminal nucleus. In adult animals treated neonatally with capsaicin adenosine deaminase-positive fibers were totally depleted in layer IIo but only partially depleted in layer I. Analysis of lumbar sensory ganglia revealed that small type-B neurons immunoreactive for adenosine deaminase were also immunoreactive for somatostatin but not substance P. In addition, adenosine deaminase-positive neurons lacked histochemical reaction-product for FRAP and exhibited the lowest activity of 5'-nucleotidase. Examination of the neuronal populations containing the two phosphatase enzymes showed that a proportion of neurons exhibiting 5'-nucleotidase activity were devoid of FRAP activity. It is concluded that dorsal root ganglia neurons immunoreactive for adenosine deaminase and somatostatin constitute a single subpopulation of type-B ganglion cells separate from those containing substance P or FRAP. It appears that the lack of coexistence of adenosine deaminase with either FRAP or 5'-nucleotidase cannot be attributed simply to a coexistence of the two latter enzymes since some 5'-nucleotidase-positive neurons lacking FRAP were also devoid of adenosine deaminase-immunoreactivity. Insofar as these three enzymes may contribute to the regulation of transmission processes in primary sensory neurons, our results indicate a minimal functional relationship between adenine nucleoside and nucleotide degrading enzymes in these neurons. In addition, FRAP appears to have some functional independence from 5'-nucleotidase.

Blood specimens and stains submitted from all geographic regions of West Virginia were analyzed for six genetic markers: International ABO, phosphoglucomutase (PGM), esterase D (ESD), erythrocyte acid phosphatase (EAP), adenylate kinase (AK), and adenosine deaminase (ADA). The four-year study indicates that markers identified were distributed in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and are consistent with population data previously reported.

A sample of children treated by phototherapy during the neonatal period has been studied in the population of Penne (South Eastern Italy) in order to confirm the association previously reported in newborns from the population of Rome between neonatal jaundice and phenotypes of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and acid phosphatase (ACP1). The present data confirm that the incidence of clinically relevant jaundice is much greater in newborns of phenotype ACP1 BA carrying ADA2 allele than in other infants. Since ACP1 probably acts as flavin mononucleotide phosphatase and is modulated by purine nucleotides, it is likely that enzymes of purine nucleotide metabolism (including ADA), ACP1 and flavoenzymes (including gluthatione reductase and enzymes of Krebs cycle), may represent a polygenic complex influencing bilirubin levels in the first few days of life.
