Polymorphism of Lactate Dehydrogenase in Gelada Baboons

Frank N. Syner 1 and Morris Goodman 1

1 Lafayette Clinic and Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan

In a group of 21 gelada baboons, three different lactate dehydrogenase patterns were observed after starch-gel electrophoresis of tissue extracts. The patterns indicate that a mutation has occurred in this population in the gene responsible for the A-subunit. The normal and variant homozygotes each contain five isozymes, those containing the A subunit having characteristically different electrophoretic mobilities. The heterozygote contains the expected 15 isozymes.
