The distribution of phenotypes of the red cell esterase D (ESD), glyoxalase 1 (GLO1), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) were analysed by starch gel electrophoresis in unrelated native-born residents in Sao Tome and Principe, for the purpose of genetic characterization of this population. The allele frequencies found were: ESD* = 0.929, ESD*2 = 0.071 (N =145); GLO 1 *1= 0.347, GLO1 *2 = 0.653 (N = 154); GPT*1=0.840, GPT*2=0.160(N=150); PGM1*1=0.809, PGM1*2=0.191 (N=257).
