PMCID: PMC1423994  PMID: 14414701

Abstract

The Gm serum groups in man have been investigated serologically and genetically. Two populations have been studied. In Great Britain the frequency of the Gm (a+) phenotype is 60.98 per cent. In the Ferrara district of Italy the frequency is 40.18 per cent. Family studies in both populations support the hypothesis that the Gm (a+) phenotype is determined by a gene which is expressed in the heterozygote.
