Abstract

Allele and genotype frequencies for eight DNA polymorphisms (HUMTH01, HUMVWA31A, D3S1358, D8S1179, D18S51, D19S253, YNZ22 and HLA-DQalpha) were determined in a population sample of Aymara Indians from Bolivia using PCR. No deviations of the observed allelic frequencies from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were found for all the systems studied. Significant differences in the allele frequencies were found between the Aymara and Quechua populations only for HUMVWA31A, which suggests a certain degree of genetic differentiation between the two populations.
