Abstract excerpt

The 27-bp deletion in the erythrocyte band 3 gene (B3Delta27) constitutes a genetic basis for Southeast Asian and Melanesian ovalocytosis. The distribution of B3Delta27 has been interpreted to reflect malaria selection or dispersal of the recent expansion of Austronesian-speaking populations. To explore these two hypotheses, we examined eight malarious populations of the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea...
