From some 500 members of Christian communities in Iran (Armenians and Assyrians from six localities), blood specimens were obtained and examined for a number of blood group, red cell enzyme, and serum protein systems. The results indicate the relatively closed nature of the Christian community as a whole but that moderate differentiation has already occurred among the local groups. One factor in this diversification process that can be distinguished is the effect of urbanization in Tehran, but otherwise it seems to be largely random.
从伊朗基督教社区的约500名成员（来自六个地区的亚美尼亚人和亚述人）那里采集了血样，并对多个血型、红细胞酶和血清蛋白系统进行了检测。结果表明，整个基督教社区相对封闭，但当地群体之间已经出现了适度分化。在这一多样化过程中，可以区分出的一个因素是德黑兰城市化的影响，但除此之外，这一过程似乎很大程度上是随机的。
