Abstract
Three genetic markers, red-cell UMPK, PGP and serum AMY 2 were investigated in Malaysians of Malay, Chinese and Indian ancestries using starch-gel and agarosegel electrophoresis. UMPK was found to be polymorphic in all three races. Variants were observed for PGP in Malays; in Indians it is a polymorphic marker whereas it is monomorphic in Chinese. AMY 2 was polymorphic only in Indians. The UMPK 1 frequencies in Malays, Chinese and Indians, respectively, are 0·851, 0·880 and 0·942. The PGP 1 frequencies are 0·991, 1·000, 0·962, and the AMY 1 2 frequencies are 1·000, 1·000 and 0·983.
