Abstract
A total of 243 and 236 red cell and serum samples from the Zoroastrians of Iran were sub-typed by isoelectric focusing for the red cell enzyme phosphoglucomutase locus 1 and the group-specific component respectively and the phenotype and gene frequency values were calculated. Comparison of the results with those of examinations performed on African, Asian and European population shows that for both the PGM and Gc systems Zoroastrians show similarity to western populations and differ from middle-eastern populations. Insgesamt 243 und 236 Erythrozyten- und Serumproben der Zoroastrer von Iran wurden mit Hilfe der isoelektrischen Fokussierung untertypisiert auf das Erythrozytenenzym Phosphoglucomutase Lokus 1 und die Group-Specific-Component, und die Phänotyp- und Genfrequenzen wurden berechnet. Vergleiche der gegenwärtigen Ergebnisse mit denjenigen von Untersuchungen bei afrikanischen, asiatischen und europäischen Bevölkerungen zeigen, daß die Zoroastrer in den beiden Systemen PGM und Gc Ähnlichkeiten mit westlichen Bevölkerungen zeigen und daß sie von nahöstlichen Bevölkerungen abweichen. Un total de 243 et 236 échantillons de globules rouges et de sérum de Zoroastriens d'Iran ont été sous-typés par focalisation isoélectrique pour l'enzyme érythrocytaire phosphoglucomutase locus 1 et le Group Specific Component respectivement; les fréquences phénotypiques et géniques ont été calculées. La comparaison des présents résultats avec ceux d'examen faits dans des populations africaines, asiatiques et européennes montre que pour l'un et l'autre des systèmes PGM et Gc les Zoroastriens montrent une similitude avec les populations occidentales et diffèrent des populations du Moyen-Orient.Keywords
