Surnames in the Azores: analysis of the isonymy structure.

Human biology - 1 Feb 2005

Branco Claudia C, Mota-Vieira Luisa

Abstract excerpt

Geographic isolation is a significant factor to consider when characterizing human populations. The knowledge of the genetic structure of isolated populations has been of great importance to disease-locus positioning and gene identification. To investigate the genetic structure of the Azorean population, we conducted a survey based on the frequencies of surnames listed in the 2001 telephone book. We calculated...
