Summary. A new variant of red cell glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), designated GPI‐C, was observed in the chow‐chow breed of dog. GPI‐C could be separated from the previously reported dog GPI variants (A and B), both by starch gel electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing (pH 3–10). Family data supported the hypothesis that GPI‐C is controlled by a third codominant allele ( GPI C ). GPI C occurred as a rare allele in the Dutch chow‐chow population.
