title: A genetic profile of Romany (Gypsy) subethnic group from a single region in Slovakia.
abstract: The data presented here are on population structure and genetic markers (ABO, RH, MN, HP) in two series of so-called Slovak Romany subethnic groups from a single region (Gemer) in the Southeastern part of Slovakia. The results demonstrate that favourable conditions have existed for population genetic mechanisms operating in isolated populations, namely genetic drift and inbreeding. In addition, an attempt was made to compare the observed data with those available for other Romany populations and for Slovaks.
