title: A study of genetic markers of the blood in four Central African population groups.
abstract: Four population groups in Burundi were examined with respect to the following genetic markers: Hp, HbS, G6PD, 6PGD, PGM, ADA, AK, PHI, LDH, AcP, PGK, PGAM, DPGM, Dia-1, MDH, ICD, EsD, GOT and GPT. Based on the distributions of these markers a distinction could be made between 2 groups: Tutsis from Burundi and Rwanda on the one hand, and Bantus from Burundi and Zaire on the other. Some significant variations were, however, also noted inside each of these 2 groups. A factorial analysis which considered the data from a quantitative point of view confirms these conclusions.
