Frequency of red cell adenosine deaminase phenotypes in a unique Breton community, the Bigoudens.
The adenosine deaminase gene frequencies were calculated in 405 subjects randomly chosen from the Bigouden district. A rather high frequency (0.0765 +/- 0.0093) was found for the ADA2 gene. The possible effect of Celtic influences is considered.
