Four populations of islanders (Ponapeans, Mokilese, Pingelapese, and Kusaieans) in the Eastern Caroline Islands have been surveyed for variability in red cell acid phosphatase, phosphoglucomutase, 6‐phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase. The following gene frequencies were observed: P a = 0.0904, PGM 2 1 = 0.1015, and PGD B = 0.0259. No genetic variation was encountered in the AK and G6PD systems.
