Is there a sex-phenotype association for esterase D (EC 3.1.1.1)? 1990

Recently, a significant sex distortion of the esterase D locus segregation, both in Portugal and Germany, was reported. In contrast to these puzzling results, data on around 1,200 informative northeastern Brazilian individuals did not show any signs of a sex-phenotype association (chi 2 = 0.35). The joint analysis of this sample together with that of the previous report showed that, although the pooled material presented a significant sex distortion (p less than 0.05), the heterogeneity was also high (p less than 0.05) as to discourage any generalization based upon the European findings. Moreover, since the present sample is almost 3 times larger than the pooled European one, the whole picture suggests strongly that there is no segregation distortion attributed to sex, at this locus.
