The population of East Slovakia was studied for the following red cell isoenzymes: acid phosphatase (ACP), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and esterase D (ESD). The gene frequencies observed were as follows: ACP1*A = 0.3330, ACP1*B = 0.6143, ACP1*C = 0.0527, PGM1*2 = 0.2673, ADA*2 = 0.0721, ESD*2 = 0.1061. No significant differences were found between East Slovakia gene frequencies in this study and those of Herzog [1992] on inhabitants of Prague and those of Bambúchová [1985] on the Bratislava population.

D010641	Phenotype	The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.	Phenotypes
D011110	Polymorphism, Genetic	The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.
