title: Some red cell enzymes and haptoglobin gene frequencies in two Basque regions and León.
abstract: A study was conducted to determine the distribution of phenotypes and gene frequencies of haptoglobin, phosphoglucomutase 1, esterase D, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and three monomorphic systems SOD, sMDH and NADH DIA I. Results obtained from two Basque regions and León were compared with those from other Spanish populations. Gene frequencies observed in the León sample were similar to those obtained from the other Spanish samples. The Basque samples differed from the other Spanish populations in the gene frequencies of esterase D.
