Abstract

Hemolysates from a total of 640 blood samples from seven endogamous caste groups of the Patiala and Faridkot districts of Punjab, North-West India, were subjected to horizontal starch gel electrophoresis to study the phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) types. In addition to the usual pattern PGI 1, the only rare phenotype encountered in the present material was PGI 3-1, present in four out of the seven groups investigated. Examination of the available data from Punjab suggests that apparently rare PGI types other than PGI 3-1 are lacking in populations studied.
