title: Genetic polymorphisms in the Croatian ethno-linguistic minority of Italy.
abstract: Phenotype and gene frequencies of twelve genetic markers (ABO, RH, MNS, ACP1, ESD, PGD, PGM1, PGM2, HB, ALB, CP and HP) of the three Croatian communities (Acquaviva Collecroce, Montemitro and S. Felice del Molise) living in Southern Italy are reported. From the comparison with the surrounding Italian population and with Balkan populations, some instances of still incomplete genetic admixture can be inferred (ABO*A and O, ESD, PGD and PGM1).
