Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) phenotyping was performed in 1,128 Chinese blood donors by thin-layer isoelectric focusing on agarose. The PGM1 gene frequencies were as follows: 1A, 0.6005; 1B, 0.1500; 2A, 0.1510, 2B, 0.0973; variants, 0.0058, with W21, 0.0040. The variants found in this series were PGM1 W21, W2, W3, W6 and W9 (or W10) with PGM1 W21 being the most common variant among Chinese, having a phenotype frequency of 0.8%.
