SUMMARY Phenotypes positive for G2m(23) but negative for Glm(3) and G3m(5,10,11,13,14) are generally very infrequent in Caucasian populations. We recently Gm typed 372 Australian blood donors, predominantly of European descent, and found two Gm(1;23) and five Gm(1,2;23) individuals among them. This finding suggests that the haplotypes Gm 1,17:23;21 and Gm 1,2,17,23,21 may occur, in some European populations, with a frequency considerably higher than has been generally assumed.
