Glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) polymorphism in eight geographical regions of Turkey
1Department of Biology, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey.
Abstract:
The distribution of glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) phenotypes in eight geographical regions of Turkey was studied. The GLO1*1 allele frequency varies from 0.3630 to 0.4118, which is in good agreement with the previously estimated range of variability. Excess numbers of heterozygotes compared to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed in all regions. The reason of this requires further investigations.
