Polymorphism of glyoxalase I in Vienna.

Phenotype and gene frequencies of the GLO I polymorphism in Vienna are given. No exception to the postulated rule of inheritance could be found in 23 families with 51 children and 132 mother-child pairs. Linkage with the HLA system is confirmed, but no linkage disequilibrium between GLO alleles and HLA-A, B, C genes was detected. The use of the GLO I polymorphism in paternity cases is discussed.
