Placental glucose dehydrogenase polymorphism in Japanese.
The polymorphism of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was investigated in 516 Japanese placentae. The allele frequencies were GDH*1 = 0.510, GDH*2 = 0.488 and GDH*3 = 0.002. GDH*3 appears to increase from Japan via Southeast Asia and India to Europe.
