title: A rare adenosine deaminase allele (ADA6) in an Arab moslem village in Israel.
abstract: The rare allele ADA6, was detected in seven members of an Arab Moslem family from northern Israel. All had the electrophoretic pattern of heterozygotes ADA6--1. This phenotype was formerly described in a small German family. The individuals examined in this study are a small branch of a much larger family only part of which lives in Israel. The origin of the family was traced back to a tribe which migrated to Jordan in the XVIII th century from the Kingdom of Hegaz in the northern part of the Arabian peninsula.
