The Determination of Esterase D in MenstruaI Blood Stains

Abstract

Menstrual blood stains of 107 individuals were collected and analysed by a thin layer starch gel electrophoresis. The occurrence of EsD types 1-1, 2-1 and 2-2 was 37.38, 50.47 and 12.15 %, respectively. The estimated gene frequencies for EsD1 and EsD2 were 0.626 -+ 0.033 and 0.374 -+ 0.033 respectively.
