title: Serum and red cell enzyme polymorphisms in six Amerindian tribes.
abstract: Data are presented on red cell and serum enzyme types in six Amerindian tribes in Central and South America of whom the Siriono, Chipaya and Jicaque are markedly inbred. The data obtained in three systems (AcP, PGM, 6PGD) show aberrant phenotype and gene frequencies in these three tribes by comparison with other Amerindian populations. Uniformity of the results was observed in the following red cell enzymes: AK, G6PD, PGM2, ADA and LDH.
