Abstract
A total of 315 individuals, mainly of Aymara origin, from western Bolivia were examined for genetic variation at 8 red cell antigen and 19 serum protein and red cell enzyme loci. The gene frequencies for polymorphic loci and the discovery of several rare variants are discussed in terms of previous work among the Aymara and the closely related Quechua. The effect of inclusion of related individuals in the sample on gene frequency, variance of gene frequency and genetic distance is discussed.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
