TL;DR: The results confirm the exponential growth of serum placental isoenzyme as a function of gestational age and show that the moment of appearance of the placentalisoenzyme is six weeks earlier in double incompatible matings.
Abstract: 458 unrelated healthy women at various gestational ages were examined for serum heat-stable alkaline phosphatase (HSALP) activity. The sample was subdivided into four groups according to the compatibility mating type in the ABO and Rh systems: double compatible, ABO incompatible, Rh incompatible and double incompatible. The results confirm the exponential growth of serum placental isoenzyme as a function of gestational age and show that the moment of appearance of the placental isoenzyme is six weeks earlier in double incompatible matings.

TL;DR: Among the six common phenotypes there was no difference in catalytic activity, and the gene frequencies for GDH1, GDH2 and GDH3 were same in Continental Italy and Sardinia.
Abstract: Glucose dehydrogenase (hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been assayed qualitatively and quantitatively in more than 600 human placentae collected in two Italian populations. The gene frequencies for GDH1, GDH2 and GDH3 were, respectively, 0.66, 0.21 and 0.12 in Continental Italy and 0.65, 0.23 and 0.12 in Sardinia. Among the six common phenotypes there was no difference in catalytic activity.
