| Summary: | In this paper, we report on the first data connected to the phenotype diversity of the Roma population from north/eastern
Bosnia and its genetic relations with neighboring non-Roma populations. Genetic structure of the Roma and non-Roma
population was analyzed considering on four the static-morphological and three the dynamic-morphological properties.
A total of 847 samples have been collected from unrelated individuals in the area of the north/eastern Bosnia. The investigated
parameters of genetic heterogeneity were estimated by: the recessive phenotypes frequency observed property,
chi-squared test, exact-test, pairwise FST and genetic distance analysis. Estimation of genetic variability of the analyzed
populations showed significant genetic differentiation between of the Roma and non-Roma population. The basic factors
of the found significant genetic differentiation between the Roma and non-Roma population are a result of a high
level of endogamy, the reproductive isolation of the Roma population and limited maternal gene flow with neighboring
populations. |
