title: Red cell enzyme polymorphisms in different populations of Afghanistan.
abstract: In four population groups of Afghanistan, the Pushtu, Tajik, Hazara, and Usbek, the red cell enzymes EsD, GPT, AcP, PGM1, ADA, AK, and 6PGD were studied. Significant differences in frequency occurred between the Hazara and others in 6PGD, PGM1, and AK system, and between the Pushtu and others in the ADA system.
