Melanesians and Polynesians share a unique alpha-thalassemia mutation.

Melanesians and Polynesians share a unique alpha-thalassemia mutation.

Several genetic markers that provide information on population migrations and affinities have been detected by studies of proteins and cellular antigens in blood. Analysis of DNA polymorphisms promises to yield many further population markers, and we report here the distribution of a new alpha-globi...
