Variability of the CD4 and F13A1 short tandem repeats in Corsicans, Sardinians and Piaroa Indians.

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.
