title: Genetic studies of red cell glutamic-pyruvic transaminase in some Japanese populations.
abstract: Comparative data on the allelic distribution of human red cell GPT were presented for inhabitants of isolated communities and individuals in the general population of Japan. In addition, a quantitative enzyme assay of the different phenotypes was carried out on some of the samples tested. The existence of two heterozygotes with a silent allele, Gpt0, appeared to be confirmed by pedigree analysis.
