ABSTRACT THE Australian Aborigines are an interesting population for the study of human variability due to inherited characteristics. The first study of their blood groups was published in
1922 (ref. 1) and many extensive surveys have since been undertaken. More recently discovered polymorphic characters, including the serum haptoglobins, transferrins, gamma globulins and
group specific types, have also been investigated, and the results have been reviewed2–4. There is, however, no published information about the distribution of red cell acid phosphatase
types among the aborigines and the study reported here was undertaken primarily to provide the information. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
