Abstract
KUMAGAI, R., TOKIWA, K., NAKAYASHIKI, N. and KATSURA, S. Glutamate- Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT) Variant Found in a Disputed Paternity Case. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1987, 153 (4), 383-388 - GPT variants, GPT2C-1 and GPT2A-2C, were found in samples from a mother and her child, respectively, in a disputed paternity case. The phenotype GPT 2C-1 was determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis performed at alkaline pH and acidic pH; this is probably the first GPT2C-1 detected in Japanese. It was considered that the GPT*2C allele in this family was inherited in a manner of autosomal codominant transmission.
