Abstract

A family possessing the rare PGM¹³ allele has been found in North Carolina, and criteria for the electrophoretic separation and accurate typing of the PGM¹³ isozymes are outlined. The PGM¹³ isozymes detected proved to be useful in helping to determine parentage in an incest investigation. The pattern of segregation of the PGM¹³ allele in four generations of this family and thermostability studies on the PGM¹³ isozymes are presented.
