Abstract

In the forensic science laboratory erythrocyte adenylate kinase (AK) polymorphism has been used successfully to further individualize dried bloodstains [1,2]. Three distinct phenotypes of adenylate kinase, AK-1, AK2-1, and AK-2, have been identified in the population and are directed by two common autosomal alleles AK¹ and AK² [3]. Several other less common variants have also been reported [4].
