Red cell and serum protein polymorphisms in three population groups of South Korea.

Genetic markers ACP1, PGM1 with subtypes, ESD, GLO1, PGD, GPT, PGP, C3, TF and GC with subtypes, BF, HP, AMY, PLG and PI, were studied in three populations in South Korea, one being the population of the industrial capital Seoul, the second a rural group from Taejon and the third the population of Cheju Island. For the polymorphic systems studied in the present work, a general similarity was observed among the three populations, with the exception of GPT and ACP1 (Taejon vs. Seoul) and subtypes of GC (Taejon vs. Cheiu).
