Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Southern Tunisian Populations
Due to its complex history of migrations and colonization of African, European, and Asian people, the Tunisian territory is an ideal area to study the effects of cultural change on the genetic structure of human populations. This study investigated genetic variation in the mitochondrial DNA of Tunisian populations to detect the possible impact of recent historical events on their gene pool. Two Arab and three Berber communities were analyzed usin…

Our study provides evidence that the relationships between genetic and cultural diversity of old and new inhabitants of North Africa in southern Tunisia follow different patterns. The Berbers seem to have preserved a significant part of their common genomic heritage despite Islamization, Arab cultural influence, and linguistic diversity. Compared to Morocco and Algeria, southern Tunisian Arabs have retained a higher level of Arabian ancestry. Thi…
Reevaluating a Model of Gender-Biased Gene Flow among Sub-Saharan Hunter-Gatherers and Farmers
In a previous study, we proposed a model for genetic admixture between African hunter-gatherers and food producers, in which we integrated demographic and genetic aspects together with ethnographic knowledge (Destro-Bisol et al. 2004b). In that study it was possible to test the model only using genetic information from widely dispersed and genetically heterogeneous populations. Here we reevaluate the congruence between the model and patterns of g…

A multi‐perspective view of genetic variation in Cameroon
In this study, we report the genetic variation of autosomal and Y‐chromosomal microsatellites in a large Cameroon population dataset (a total of 11 populations) and jointly analyze novel and previous genetic data (mitochondrial DNA and protein coding loci) taking geographic and cultural factors into consideration. The complex pattern of genetic variation of Cameroon can in part be described by contrasting two geographic areas (corresponding to th…
Tracing the distribution and evolution of lactase persistence in Southern Europe through the study of the T ‐13910 variant
We investigated the occurrence and intra‐allelic variability of the T ‐13910 variant located upstream of the lactase gene in 965 individuals from 20 different locations of Italy and Greece. The T ‐13910 frequency ranges from 0.072 (Sardinia) to 0.237 (North‐East Italy), with a statistically significant difference between North‐East Italians and other Italian populations. The comparison of the lactose tolerance predicted by T ‐13910 and that asses…
Brief communication
The hypervariable region‐1 and four nucleotide positions (10400, 10873, 12308, and 12705) of the coding region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed in 441 individuals belonging to eight populations (Daba, Fali, Fulbe, Mandara, Uldeme, Podokwo, Tali, and Tupuri) from North Cameroon and four populations (Bakaka, Bassa, Bamileke, and Ewondo) from South Cameroon. All mtDNAs were assigned to five haplogroups: three sub‐Saharan (L1, L2, and L3), …
A seven year anthropobiological survey on the distribution of abnormal hemoglobins in Cameroon
Within the frame of an anthropobiological survey on some populations of Cameroon (1985-1991), Hb beta data were collected from numerous ethnic groups including Bakaka, Bamileke, Daba, Fali, Guiziga, Kanuri, Mada, Mafa, Mundang, Uldeme, Podokwo, Tali, Tupuri, Fulbe, Mandara, Ewondo and Bassa. Hb beta *S allele frequencies ranged from 0.008 +/- 0.003 (among Fali) to 0.152 +/- 0.020 (among Mandara) and 0.152 +/- 0.044 (among Podokwo), whereas Hb bet…
A bio-anthropological study on the Bakakas of Cameroon
Bakakas are native Bantus belonging to the Mbo-Bakossi group, peopling the Cameroon's Littoral region. In the context of a wide bio-anthropological study project focused on the bio-historical processes involved in the areas, 278 adults of both sexes from the villages of Ebone and Bakwat (Bakaka Canton) were investigated for 14 erythrocyte and serum genetic polymorphisms (ACP1, ADA, EsD, GLO, Hb beta, GPX1, CAII, PGM1, SAHH, 6-PGD, Hp, Pi, Gc and …
Evaluation of the sensitivity of microfilter paper assays in an anthropological study
Microfilter absorbed whole blood samples from 223 Tanzanian babies and 189 adults from Cameroon have been examined. Blood specimens are difficult to obtain from African suburban and rural areas, and lack of storage and transportation facilities can prevent the collection of samples. We evaluated some microassays employing whole blood collected on filter paper. This method is a well established technique in neonatal screening for endocrinometaboli…
