Abstract

This paper presents allele frequencies of two short tandem repeats (CD4 and F13A1) in three anthropologically defined populations: Sardinians (Italy), Corsicans (France) and Piaroa Indians (Venezuela). The comparison shows some relevant differences both in number and distribution of the CD4 and F13A1 alleles.
