Abstract

Ethnolinguistics Evolutionary genetics Genetic diversity Genetic variation Human genetics Humans Immunoglobulin allotypes Immunoglobulins Medical genetics Population genetics
The GM polymorphism of human immunoglobulins is analyzed in three Berber populations of southern Tunisia and compared to other GM data. Genetic diversity among Tunisian populations is higher than that among Europeans but does not exhibit any significant geographic or linguistic structure. This result suggests a complex pattern of genetic differentiation.
