title: Genetic structure through surnames in Campobasso Province, Italy.
abstract: The population of Campobasso Province shows a level of inbreeding that is distinct from most Italian rural populations, regardless of their geographic location (Fr=0.0040; Fn=0.0102; Ft=0.0142). The genetic structure of the Italian-Greek communities of Lecce and Reggio Calabria Provinces does not appear to be affected by ethnicity. The level of inbreeding in Italian-Greeks of Reggio Calabria Province is similar to other Italians of Campobasso Province (Fr=0.0041; Fn=0.0127; Ft=0.0168). The Italian-Greeks of Lecce Province show random mating, and their inbreeding is in fact very low (Fr=0.0038; Fn=0.0024; Ft=0.0062).
