HUMF13A01 in autochthonous Basques and in genetically related populations

  • Published:
International Journal of Anthropology

Abstract

A population gentics study was carried out on 678 Basque individuals using the short tandem repeat HUMF13A01. Thirteen different alleles were detected. This population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The singularity of the Basque population’s HUMF13A01 allele frequencies is displayed in the European context, through some genetic similarities are shown, especially with some neighbouring and culturally related populations, and with other populations with which Basques may have shared ancient common roots, such as the Sardinians.
