Esterase D phenotypes have been determined in Chinese and Japanese populations in the San Francisco area. The EsD1 gene frequencies were 0.612 for the Chinese population and 0.582 for the Japanese population.

Several regional series from Britain and 3 Asian series were typed for the Esterase D polymorphism. It was found that haemolysates up to 5 years old could be reliably typed when prepared from washed anticoagulated red blood cells. Lysates prepared from blood clots do not retain Esterase D activity q
## Abstract Family data are useful for estimating disease risk in carriers of specific genotypes of a given gene (penetrance). Penetrance is frequently estimated assuming that relatives' phenotypes are independent, given their genotypes for the gene of interest. This assumption is unrealistic when
