Abstract excerpt
Allele frequencies and a single-base substitution polymorphism for 3 short tandem repeat (STR) loci of the human myelin basic protein (MBP) gene were evaluated in North Portugal and São Tomé e Príncipe. Strong linkage disequilibrium between loci MBPB and MBPC was found. However, the patterns of nonrandom allelic associations were very different in the 2 populations: levels of haplotypic diversity and...
