Detection of a new variant phenotype of phosphohexose isomerase in the Gadaba tribe of Andhra Pradesh, South India

A total of 998 unrelated individuals from the Gadaba tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, were screened for red cell phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) by starch gel electrophoresis. A new and hitherto for Andhra Pradesh not yet reported rare variant phenotype was observed: PHI 6-1. The new...

Description
Summary:A total of 998 unrelated individuals from the Gadaba tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, were screened for red cell phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) by starch gel electrophoresis. A new and hitherto for Andhra Pradesh not yet reported rare variant phenotype was observed: PHI 6-1. The new allele is designated as PHI*6Gadaba. An 998 nicht miteinander verwandten Individuen der Gadaba-Stammesbevölkerung aus Andhra Pradesh (Südindien) wurde mittels der Stärkegelelektrophorese die Phosphohexoisomerase (PHI) untersucht. Dabei fand sich ein neuer und für Andhra Pradesh bisher nicht beschriebener Phänotyp, nämlich PHI 6-1. Das neue Allel wird mit PHI*6Gadaba bezeichnet.
