Summary We surveyed three major ethnic groups in Malaysia for red cell glyoxalase I polymorphism. The allelic frequencies forGLO 1 were: Malays, 0.196; Chinese, 0.200; and Indians, 0.287. No rare variant was seen. By means of gel electrophoresis of placenta samples, theACON 2 s allele was found to be polymorphic in Chinese and Malays. The gene frequencies were 0.045 for Chinese and 0.039 for Malays. Only the commonACON s 1–1 phenotype was present among the 170 Indians we examined.
