title: Anthropogenetic variability of populations of the north-eastern part of the Slavonia and Baranya Region--Croatia.
abstract: In this work we studied the anthropogenetic structure of eight populations in the north-eastern part of the Slavonia-Baranya region. The results are based on the analysis of ABO and Rh systems of erythrocytic antigens i.e. analysis of A1, A2, B and O genes, and in Rh systems D and d genes. The analysis was carried out on 7,860 grown-ups chosen by a random sample method among blood donors in Clinical Hospital in Osijek. The gene frequencies, "genetic distances", coefficients of kinship and heterozygosity have been calculated for examined populations. The results show that the present anthropologenetic population structure reflects the common origin of the examined populations, but also that the numerous changes throughout their ethno-history, caused first of all by population migrations, which is one of the basic mechanisms that have shaped the population structure of the north-eastern part of Slavonia-Baranya region.
