The existence of four alleles of phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) in human red cell lysates has previously been demonstrated by isoelectric focusing (Bark et al., 1976; Kühnl et al., 1977; Sutton and Burgess, 1978). Experiments are now described in which the position of each of the first-locus (PGM1) and s

✦ Synopsis
Reduced phosphoglucomutase (PGM) activity (approximately 25% of normal) was found in erythrocytes from a healthy newborn infant. The PGM activity was also diminished (approximately 50% of normal) in the erythrocytes of the parents. No PGM1 isoenzymes were found in the erythrocytes of the propositus, as demonstrated by the starch gel electrophoresis. Both parents showed a normal distribution of the PGM1 isoenzymes. We propose a heterozygous state in the parents for a gene determining the activity of the PGM1 isoenzymes and that no activity of the PGM1 isoenzyme could be detected in erythrocytes of the propositus because of his homozygous state. In neonatal screening for galactosaemia red cell PGM deficiency gives false positive results, as does glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) phenotypes were determined in a population sample of Tuscany, Italy, by isoelectric focusing. The frequencies observed for the four alleles are: PGM1+1 = 0.6012, PGM1-1 = 0.1059, PGM2+1 = 0.2495, PGM2-1 = 0.0434. Two variants were detected and it was possible to study the p
Phosphoglucomutase1 (PGM1) polymorphism was studied in a French-Canadian population of Québec city, Canada by means of a low voltage (max 500 V) isoelectric focusing (IEF) procedure on vertical polyacrylamide gel slabs. Frequencies of the four common PGM1 genes estimated from the phenotype distribut
The technique of isoelectric focusing on methylated 'cellogel' strips (CAGIF) was used to confirm the presence of four alleles of PGM1 in human red cell lysates. The subtypes of PGM1 were determined in two Polish population samples, from Southwestern Poland (Wrocław region, n=321) and Southeastern P
Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) of red cells was examined in 15 inbred strains of mice, using two different starch gel electrophoretie buffer systems. Two new alleles, Pgm-1 ° and Pgm-1 d, were discovered at the Pgm-1 locus. Pgm-1 c was first identified in strain C3H/HeNWe and Pgm-1 a in 129/ReWl. No varia
