The genetic polymorphism of red blood cells esterase D (EsD) has been investigated in 9 population groups in Israel: Ashkenazi Jews, non-Ashkenazi Jews from North Africa, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Balkan, Iraq, Yemen as well as Arabs living in Israel. The distribution of EsD1 and EsD2 genes among the 9 communities was not homogenous chi2 = 42.3; d.f. = 8; p less than 0.0005). The Ashkenazi and North African Jews had significantly lower frequencies of EsD2 (0.100 and 0.102 respectively) than did Yemenite Jews and Arabs (0.212 and 0.206 respectively). The other communities investigated showed intermediate values. A Jewish family from Greece carrying the rare allele EsD2 has been detected.
对以色列的9个群体进行了红细胞酯酶D（EsD）的基因多态性研究：德系犹太人、来自北非、伊朗、土耳其、埃及、巴尔干地区、伊拉克、也门的非德系犹太人以及生活在以色列的阿拉伯人。EsD1和EsD2基因在这9个群体中的分布并不均匀（χ2 = 42.3；自由度 = 8；p < 0.0005）。德系犹太人和北非犹太人的EsD2基因频率（分别为0.100和0.102）明显低于也门犹太人和阿拉伯人（分别为0.212和0.206）。其他被调查的群体显示出中间值。已检测到一个来自希腊的犹太家庭携带罕见等位基因EsD2。
