Blood group antigens such as Duffy represent interesting models for population genetics studies. The distribution of the Duffy blood group was determined using PCR in a sample of Basque (n = 126) and non-Basque (n = 110) patients from the general hospital of the French Basque Country. The frequency of FY*A allele was significantly lower among autochthonous French Basques (P < 0.001). This result, obtained for the...
