Abstract

A screening method for determining the abnormal phenotypes of human serum cholinesterase variants in a population survey was investigated. The test appeared to be satisfactory in detecting abnormal genotypes, but not assigning them into correct classification. The results of the population survey indicate that there may be a higher frequency of ChU1ChD1 genotype than those reported earlier. Family studies of the suxamethonium-sensitive propositi in this population demonstrate that abnormal genes ChD1, ChF1 and ChS1 are segregating, according to the usual Mendelian type of inheritance pattern. The possibility of a relatively high frequency of these abnormal genotypes among the Greek population has been indicated.
