Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many Croatian islands are examples of genetic isolates, with low level of heterozygosity and high level of inbreeding, due to practice of endogamy. AIM: The aim was to study the genetic structure of two insular and one mainland population through high-resolution phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: MtDNA polymorphisms were explored in 300 unrelated individuals from...
