title: Genetic population history relationships of the population of Bogotá, Colombia, by using the D1S80, VWA, and TH01 molecular markers.
abstract: The genetic relationships of the population of Bogotá, Colombia, was comparatively studied with regard to other populations from America, Europe, and Asia, by using the D1S80, VWA, and TH01 molecular loci. From a population history point of view, the population of Bogotá seems to be more related to a European origin, with several differential contributions coming from Amerindians rather than from African and Asian populations, when the D1S80 and TH01 markers were employed. However, the contribution was greater from African populations for the VWA marker. Several explanations are offered to resolve the genetic affiliation of this population.
