Polymorphism of acid phosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.2) including some rare variants in Wrocław (south-west Poland) area. Utility in population and criminalistic studies.
In a sample of 7467 inhabitants of Wrocław and Lower Silesia, the frequencies of ACP alleles were determined as ACPa = 0.3466. ACPb = 0.5684, ACPc = 0.0848, ACPr = 0.001. The above frequencies are similar to those described in other population samples. Phenotypes with rare gene ACPe were described in Poland for the first time. Utility of ACP phenotyping in criminalistical investigation of legal instruments is strongly limited by low stability of enzyme and change of electrophoretic image.
