Distribution of HLA alleles in Portugal and Cabo Verde. Relationships with the slave trade route.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Jul 2002

Spínola H, Brehm A, Williams F, Jesus J, Middleton D

Abstract excerpt

HLA-A, -B, and -DR frequencies were analysed in populations from Portugal and the Madeira and Cabo Verde Archipelagos, aiming to characterize their genetic composition. Portuguese settlers colonized both Archipelagos in the 15th and 16th centuries. Madeira received many sub-Saharan slaves to work in the sugar plantations, and Cabo Verde served as a pivotal market in the Atlantic slave trade and was populated by...
