Abstract excerpt
The extent of X-chromosome linkage disequilibrium (LD) was studied in a southern Brazilian population, and in a pool of samples from Amerindian populations. For this purpose, 11 microsatellites, located mostly in a Xq region comprising approximately 86 Mb was investigated. The lower Amerindian gene diversity associated with significant differences between the populations studied indicated population structure as...
