title: An analysis of red cell enzymatic markers in the province of Bologna (Italy).
abstract: About 280 unrelated individuals living in the province of Bologna (Northern Italy) have been studied for the following red cell enzymatic markers: phosphoglucomutase (PGM), adenylate kinase (AK), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and phosphohexose isomerase (PHI). 116 subjects from the same sample have also been analysed for red cell acid phosphatase (ACP). The observed gene frequencies are PGM21 = 0.280; AK2 = 0.030; ADA2 = 0.091; ACPa = 0.297; ACPb = 0.647; ACPc = 0.056. In the PHI system two individuals with the variant PHI 3-1 phenotype have been found.
