Genetic Diversity in Tunisia: A Study Based on the GM Polymorphism of Human Immunoglobulins

Abstract

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.

KEY WORDS: ARABS, BERBERS, GM, HUMAN GENETIC DIVERSITY, IMMUNOGLOBULINS, NORTH AFRICA, TUNISIA.

Berber populations from North Africa are commonly considered in situ descendants of local Mesolithic populations, namely, Capsian populations who settled in the area around the 10th millennium B.P. but who left most traces of their ...
