Abstract

Blood samples from 1,698 unrelated nonLappish Norwegians have been typed in the red cell acid phosphatase system. The allele frequencies found were P<sup>A</sup> = 0.3807, P<sup>B</sup> = 0.5601 and P<sup>C</sup> = 0.0592. Typing was performed also on 196 samples from Norwegian Lapps living in the two communities Kautokeino and Karasjok. The frequencies found were P<sup>A</sup> = 0.3373, P<sup>B</sup> = 0.6566, P<sup>C</sup> = 0.0060 and P<sup>A</sup> = 0.5664, P<sup>B</sup> = 0.4248, P<sup>C</sup> = 0.0088, respectively. The difference in allele distribution between these three population groups was statistically highly significant.
