Beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes in Yanomama Indians from the Amazon region of Brazil.
Six polymorphic restriction enzyme sites in the beta-globin gene cluster were investigated in Yanomama Indians from the Amazon region of Brazil, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Four haplotypes were identified; the haplotype frequency distribution is similar to those reported for Polynesians, Micronesians and most Asian populations.
