Abstract

The recently discovered erythrocyte enzyme system esterase D (EsD) [1] has been found to be a reliable genetic marker in population studies. It is presumed to be transmitted as an autosomal codominant allele with two common variants, EsD¹ and EsD² [1], and one rare variant EsD³ [2,3]. Gene frequencies for the EsD¹ allele ranged from 0.649 to 0.945 in the twelve populations reviewed by Welch and Lee [4].
