An obviously new phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) gene product (PGP\*Sumatra) was detected by use of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis (SGE). The observed phenotype PGP (1-Sumatra) can be distinguished from any known PGP type.

✦ Synopsis
In a three-generation family, the segregation of an apparent silent allele at the GLO I locus in association with the rare HLA haplotype 'AW30-CW4-BW35' was observed in four members. In two cases the assumption of homozygosity at the GLO locus would lead to mother-child exclusions. Phenotypically, the GLO activity in the GLO0 carriers is clearly diminished.

Linkage analysis of 7 families with 30 children confirmed previous findings of the linkage between HL-A and GLO. Out of 28 families with 90 children the highest lod score value obtained was + 8.887 (recombination fraction = 0.1).
