title: [Phenotypic, genotypic and genic frequencies. Serum pseudocholinesterase in blood donors from Santiago de Chile].
abstract: Varying distributions of the different forms of pseudocholinesterase are related to different sensitivities of patients to muscle relaxants. We studied the different alleles of this enzyme in a sample of blood donors at a general hospital in Santiago, Chile. The genic frequency of the A allele was 0.0125, which is similar to that reported for different caucasoid populations.
