Abstract
Samoans (101) living in New Zealand, of whom 77 had no known non-Samoan ancestry, were typed for 9 blood group systems, 4 serum protein and 23 red cell enzyme systems, for Hb variants and antigens at the HLA A and B loci. The frequencies of genes in these various systems suggest that Samoans fall partly into an island Melanesian-Micronesian pattern, and partly are unique. Their uniqueness is most distinctive for the HLA system.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
