Abstract
Ninety-eight of 136 (72%) individuals at least 6 yr old from a small isolate of the Karaite community, known to have lived in Iraq since the 10th century, were examined. In Iraq this group maintained a highly inbred existence but married Karaites from Egypt after their immigration to Israel in 1951. Observation of several unique gene frequencies for blood group and isoenzyme markers, not described among other Jewish groups, are explicable by isolation and genetic drift in a very small community.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
