Gm and Inv Allotypes in French Guiana Indians

Data from 302 individuals belonging to three populations of French Guiana Indians are reported. All the phenotypes except two can be explained by three haplotypes : Gm1, 21, Gm1, 2, 21, and Gm1, 10, 11, 25. The gene frequencies found in the present study are generally in accordance with those previo...

Description
Summary:Data from 302 individuals belonging to three populations of French Guiana Indians are reported. All the phenotypes except two can be explained by three haplotypes : Gm1, 21, Gm1, 2, 21, and Gm1, 10, 11, 25. The gene frequencies found in the present study are generally in accordance with those previously described among other South American Indians. For the Inv1, 2 gene a high value has been found for the Wayanas and the Oyampis, but a difference appears for the Emerillons who possess a low frequency.
