Abstract excerpt
Analyses of pairwise associations between several erythrocyte genetic systems were performed on a sample from a Brazilian trihybrid population. The present paper confirms the association between the ACP1 and ADA loci, the acid phosphatase 1 and adenosine deaminase systems. The results indicate that both selection and racial admixture may influence this association.
