Abstract:
Phenotype and gene frequencies of three blood group, four serum protein and seven red cell enzyme polymorphisms were examined in 105 individuals from the population of Medzev, South-Eastern Slovakia. Locus and allele specific tests of homogeneity were calculated in order to obtain the pattern of variation. The results indicate considerable genetic differences between this population and another local population of this region (Chmelnica) as well as between the Medzev population and the total population of Slovakia. The possible reasons of the genetic heterogeneity within Slovakia are discussed.
