MS205 minisatellite diversity in Basques: evidence for a pre-Neolithic component.
A number of studies have suggested that Basques might be a relic of Mesolithic Europeans who escaped much of the homogenization brought about by the Neolithic expansion. In an attempt to add new insights into this hypothesis, MS205 minisatellite diversity has been investigated by Minisatellite Variant Repeat (MVR) analysis in a sample of >100 autochthonous individuals from the Basque Country, a...
متن کاملMutation rate heterogeneity and the generation of allele diversity at the human minisatellite MS205 (D16S309).
Many tandemly repeated minisatellite loci display extreme levels of length variation as a consequence of high rates of spontaneous germline mutation altering repeat copy number. Direct screening for new allele lengths by small-pool PCR has shown that instability at the human minisatellite locus MS205 (D16S309) is largely germline specific and usually results in the gain or loss of just a few re...
متن کاملThe Expanded mtDNA Phylogeny of the Franco-Cantabrian Region Upholds the Pre-Neolithic Genetic Substrate of Basques
The European genetic landscape has been shaped by several human migrations occurred since Paleolithic times. The accumulation of archaeological records and the concordance of different lines of genetic evidence during the last two decades have triggered an interesting debate concerning the role of ancient settlers from the Franco-Cantabrian region in the postglacial resettlement of Europe. Amon...
متن کاملEvidence of pre-Roman tribal genetic structure in Basques from uniparentally inherited markers.
Basque people have received considerable attention from anthropologists, geneticists, and linguists during the last century due to the singularity of their language and to other cultural and biological characteristics. Despite the multidisciplinary efforts performed to address the questions of the origin, uniqueness, and heterogeneity of Basques, the genetic studies performed up to now have suf...
متن کاملHLA evidence for the lack of genetic heterogeneity in Basques.
To examine the possible internal heterogeneity within the Basque population, nine samples typed for several HLA loci were compiled and HLA-A, B, C and DR loci were analysed. First, the shared features of HLA in Basques were analysed by principal component analysis and genetic distances. Two major Basque dialect groups ('French' and 'Spanish') were considered. FST statistics were computed and co...
