Abstract

Starch gel electrophoresis showed Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase polymorphism from 170 randomly selected persons of Barangay Baybayin, Los Banos, Laguna. Results showed ten band patterns for natives and seven band patterns for the migrants. For the natives, three band patterns are with single bands, G6PD1, G6PD3 , and G6PD1, with Rf values of 0.20, 0.49, and 0.58, respectively. Five are with double bands, G6PD1G6PD2 , G6PD1G6PD3 , G6PD2G6PD3, G6PD2U6PD4, and G6PD3G6PD4. Lastly, two band patterns are with triple bands, G6PD106PD2G6PD3 and G6PD2G6PD3G6PD4. Migrants showed three band patterns with single bands, 36PD1, G6PD3, and G6PD4 , with Rf values of 0.21, 0.50, and 0.61, respectively. Two band patterns are with double bands, G6PD2G6PD3 , and G6PD3G6PD4. Finally, two band patterns are with triple bands, G6PD1G6PD2G6PD3 and G6PD2G6PD3G6PD4. Comparison of bands G6PD1, u6PD2, G6PD3 and G6PD4 for migrants and natives showed that there is significant difference in band G6PD1 employing the F test. No significant differences were observed for the other three bands.
