Abstract excerpt

Only 7 nonrare haplotypes concerning Y-chromosome-specific TaqI fragments recognized by DNA probes p49f and p49a were encountered in 433 individuals belonging to 7 populations living in central Africa. Most of the haplotypes (77.7%) are characterized by the allelic combination A1,C0,D0,F1,I1 (hap...
