Popis: A sample of 251 Whites and 818 Non-Whites, from Curitiba (southern Brazil), was typed with a new method with the aim of estimating the frequency of the CHE1*F allele. The frequency of this allele did not differ between Whites (0.60 ± 0.34%) and Non-Whites (0.49 ± 0.17%), being estimated as 0.51 ± 0.15% for the whole sample. The use of the inhibitors DL-propranolol and RO2–0683 with α-naphthylacetate as substrate (at 37°C) was efficient for discriminating between the CHE1 U and CHE1 UF phenotypes.
