[Probable genetic independence of four hereditary characteristics peculiar to Mongoloid populations]

Abstract:
Several hereditary characteristics are found in Mongoloid populations (Asian and Amerindian) with a much higher frequency than in other populations. These are the mongoloid facial features, the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase beta 2, the presence of inactive mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, and the high rate of urinary excretion of beta aminoisobutyric acid. Analyses carried out in France and Switzerland have been made to research a possible correlation between these diverse characteristics. This correlation does not seem to exist. With regard to the excretion of beta aminoisobutyric acid, the hypothetical role of mercury in dental fillings has been checked in Caucasoid subjects. If this role is not completely excluded, it is far from being statistically significant.
