Beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes as evidence of African gene flow to the northeastern coast of Venezuela.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Vívenes De Lugo Merlyn, Rodríguez-Larralde Alvaro, Castro De Guerra Dinorah

Abstract excerpt

In order to study the origin of mutation HBB*S in Sucre and Anzoátegui states and the genetic affinities of these Venezuelan populations with other human groups, the beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes were determined for 28 sickle cell and/or S-beta thalassemia patients and for 37 individuals with normal hematological parameters. Bantu, Benin, Senegal, and atypical haplotypes were identified in 50%, 36%, 2%, and...
