title: [Genetic composition of the Chilean population: the population from San Pedro de Atacama].
abstract: This work describes the genetic composition of atacameños from San Pedro de Atacama. The results show that a) the contribution of non-indigenous genes is relatively low, in relation to the spanish immigration period. b) the Hardy-Weinberg genetic disequilibrium for MNSs system should have biological implications c) the variant for esterasa D enzyme may be the same found in other chilean populations.
