PGM1 subtypes determined by agarose gel isoelectrofocusing

PGM1 subtypes were determined in red cell hemolysates by isoelectric focusing on agarose gel plates. By this modified procedure PGM1 subtypes may be readily classified. Nine of the 10 expected phenotypes were found in a sample of 470 unrelated individuals from Southern Germany. The frequencies for the four alleles were found to be: PGM1(1+) = 0.212, PGM1(1-) = 0.1224, PGM1(2+) = 0.2043, PGM1(2-) = 0.0521.
