Rhesus polymorphism in New Caledonia. I. Genetic structures of three local populations.

Abstract excerpt

Rhesus phenotypes are presented for a total of 2,052 individuals belonging to three sympatric populations of New Caledonia: Kanaks (Melanesians), Wallisians (Polynesians) and Europeans born in New Caledonia. The maximum-likelihood gene frequency estimations reveal a significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the Kanak and Wallisian samples. As suggested on statistical grounds, this disequilibrium...
