Population structure of São Miguel Island, Azores: a surname study.

Human biology - 1 Dec 2003

Branco Claudia C, Mota-Vieira Luisa

Abstract excerpt

The knowledge of a population structure may constitute a powerful tool for mapping genes underlying susceptibility to Mendelian and complex diseases. To obtain a better understanding of the population structure of São Miguel Island (Azorean Archipelago, Portugal), we carried out a surname survey using the surnames listed in the most recent telephone book (2001). We identified 1315 different surnames in a total of...
