The 5q31 region in two African populations as a facet of natural selection by infectious diseases.

Genetika - 1 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

Cases of extreme natural selection could lead either to rapid fixation or extinction of alleles depending on the population structure and size. It may also manifest in excess of heterozygosity and the locus concerned will be displaying such drastic features of allele change. We suspect the 5q31 in chromosome 5 to mirror situation of such extreme natural selection particularly that the region encompasses genes of...
