Red cell isoenzyme polymorphism in the East Slovakian population.

The population of East Slovakia was studied for the following red cell isoenzymes: acid phosphatase (ACP), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), adenosine deaminase (ADA) and esterase D (ESD). The gene frequencies observed were as follows: ACP1*A = 0.3330, ACP1*B = 0.6143, ACP1*C = 0.0527, PGM1*2 = 0.2673, ADA*2 = 0.0721, ESD*2 = 0.1061. No significant differences were found between East Slovakia gene frequencies in this study and those of Herzog [1992] on inhabitants of Prague and those of Bambúchová [1985] on the Bratislava population.

Some genetic markers in Valachian (Olachian) Gypsies in Slovakia.

ABO, RH, MN, Kell, P, Lutheran, Lewis, HP, GC, ACP, PGM1, ADA and ESD markers were studied in 122 Valachian Gypsies from Vinodol in West Slovakia. The Valachian Gypsies represent about 5% of the total number of Gypsies (400,000) living in the Czech and Slovak Republic. The results show that their gene pool differs greatly from the one obtained for other Gypsy populations. Since Valachian Gypsies form an endogamous isolate with a high degree of inbreeding, genetic drift and founder effect might have contributed to this difference.

[Bone age of preschool children in Eastern Slovakia].

The authors present the results of evaluation of the skeletal maturation in 579 children aged 1-5 years. Bone maturation was evaluated, based on skeletal age, by the Tanner-Whitehouse II method (Tanner et al., 1975). It was found that girls up to the age of three years had lower and in the more advanced age groups higher values of skeletal age than boys. Boys were retarded as regards skeletal age in relation to chronological age on average by 0.28 years and girls by 0.25 years.

[Analysis of the effect of 2 criteria in the creation of age groups on the value spread of selected somatic parameters].

In the paper we present the results from the statistic analysis of the effect of two age-group creation criterions (1-st criterion--f.e. the 7 years old--from 6,500 to 7,499 years, 2-nd criterion--f.e. the 7 years old--from 7,000 to 7,999) on value dispersion of somatic characteristics chosen. We analyzed the body weight and body height in the set consists of 846 Gypsy children from 7 to 13 years of age. The dispersions of individual values of parameters followed for both criterions were tested by F-test, average values by un-pair Student's t-test. We found that the both criterions have no effect on value dispersion of evaluated somatic characteristics, except of two cases. Further, average values of testing parameters by criterion No. 1 are somewhat lower in comparison with those by criterion No. 2. Statistically significant differences are however incidental and rare. We suggest that in the case of population studies concerning with body growth and development it is possible to compare the sets with different age-group creation criterions.

[Comparison of physical growth in school-children living in children's residential facilities and in families with emphasis on the gypsy ethnic group].

The authors investigated the growth of 1208 gipsy and non-gipsy children living with their families and in childrens homes. They revealed that gipsy children from childrens homes were shorter, lighter and had a smaller chest circumference as compared with gipsy children living with their families. This applied only to younger school children. Somatic development caught up in boys at the age of 11-12 years and in girls approximately 1-2 years sooner. The values of the body mass index in boys declined with age. In girls this decline was found only up to the age of 11 to 12 years. Non-gipsy children from childrens homes were smaller than non-gipsy children according to Slovak standards (Lipková et al.; 5); this was particularly marked in boys. The authors found also that the somatic development of gipsy children from childrens homes oscillates between the somatic development of non-gipsy children according to the Slovak standards and the somatic development of gipsy children from families but only during later school age.

[Bone age of preschool-age children in the Eastern Slovakia Region].

In a group of 579 children the bone age was assessed by the Tanner-White house II method. It was revealed that girls up to the age of three years have lower values of bone age than boys who are ahead in subsequent age groups. Boys lagged behind as regards bone age in relation to chronological age by 0.4 years and girls by 0.3 years.

[Body growth in low birth weight premature children up to 5 years of age].

Investigation of the growth in 488 premature infants born with a low birth weight, compared with infants born in term with a birth weight above 2,500 g at the age of 1-5 years. Body weight, height, head circumference and chest circumference were assessed as well as Quetelet-Kaup-Gould and Quetelet-Bouchard index. It was found that premature infants are retarded in the above parameters, as compared with mature infants, still at the life of live years.

Giardiasis and ABO blood groups.

The relationship between giardiasis and ABO blood groups was studied in a group of 136 children from Eastern Slovakia, with a special attention to ethnic specifics of gipsy children. The study showed no statistically significant differences in the distribution of ABO blood groups between the subgroup of Giardia-infected gipsy children and the gipsy population minority living in the area. On the other hand, the ABO distribution pattern in subgroup of non-gipsy children infected with Giardia intestinalis was found to differ from that in the general non-gipsy Eastern Slovakian population by the absence of blood group AB among children with giardiasis. There was indicated a tendency towards an increased frequency of blood group B in subgroup of Giardia-infected gipsy children and towards group A in subgroup of nongipsy children with giardiasis, but the differences were not statistically significant.

Blood groups of Roms (Gypsies) in Czechoslovakia.

Blood groups in 2,935 Roms (Gypsies) of East Slovakia show the following frequencies of phenotypes and genes: A1A2BO phentopes: A1--32.91%, A2--2.42%, B--25.21%, O--30.15%, A1B--8.45%, A2B--0.85%, A1--0.2363, A2--0.0217, B--0.1929, O--0.5491. MN phenotypes: M--27.16%, MN--51.60%, N--21.23%, m--0.5297, n--0.4703. RH phenotypes: Rh positive--89.54%, Rh negative--10.46%; Rh - (D)--0.6766, Rh (d) 0.3234. The frequencies are contrasted with those of other inhabitants, non-Roms of East Slovakia.
