Abstract excerpt
The distribution of beta-globin cluster haplotypes has been studied in the populations of Corsica (France) and Sardinia (Italy). The analysis was carried out using five restriction fragment length polymorphism markers on chromosome 11 inside the beta-globin cluster using the restriction enzymes HincII and HindIII. The results show a remarkable heterogeneity within the two islands. However, the presence of rare...
