Abstract

17 examples of genetically controlled variation of LDH have been encountered in a survey of 1331 Indian blood samples collected in Calcutta and Madras. 15 of the variants (10 in Calcutta and 5 in Madras) were identical and have been given the trivial name ‘Calcutta-1’. The other 2 examples were found in Madras and have been called ‘Madras-1’. ‘Calcutta-1’ is an A-subunit variant, whilst ‘Madras-1’ is a B-subunit variant. The overall frequency of LDH variants in India (1.28 per cent) is among the highest reported for any population in the world.
