Human phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) E.C. 3.1.3.18: linkage analysis.

Linkage data on phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) E.C. 3.1.3.18 and 26 other human genetic markers are presented. One hundred and one families from the southwestern area of Germany were tested. Close linkage between PGP and the following markers could be ruled out: ABO, acP, ADA, GPT, PGM1, GLO, HLA, and PGM3. There is some evidence for possible linkage with MNSs, Rh, Gm and EsD. Family segregation data confirm the hypothesis formerly established by Barker and Hopkinson: three common alleles PG1, PGP2 and PGP3 at an autosomal locus PGP.
