Abstract: | The authors report the results of a population genetic survey of the Dalasýsla region (West-Iceland). Our sample size includes n=193 male and female individuals of different age. These individuals are partly related. The following blood and serum groups were determined: ABO, MNS, Rh, P; Hp, Gc, Gm, InV, and Lp. In all these systems observed and expected phenotype frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The following gene frequencies turned out: p1
A=.0888, p2
A=.0456, qB=.0293, rO=.8363; pMS=.2256, pMs=.4474, pNS=.0540, pNs=.2730; cde=.4123, Cde=.0966, cDe=.0338, CDe=.2984, cDE=.1589; pP=.4833; Hp1=.5157, Hp2=.4843; Gc1=.7340, Gc2=.2660; Gm1=.1846, Gm1,2=.1444, Gm12=.6710. The frequency of the phenotype InV (1) comes to 17,6%, that of Lp (a+) amounts to 21,6%.In general the Icelandic phenotype and allele frequencies correspond to the European ones, especially to those observed in Northern Europe. In connection with this the authors discuss briefly, to what extent the present day phenotype distributions (especially concerning the ABO system) of Iceland may be interpreted with regard to historical facts and events. It is pointed out that at any rate also selective acting factors should be taken into consideration in order to interpret really the present day distributions. Within Iceland certain inhomogeneities in the phenotype distributions are present. Factors such as small population sizes, geographical isolation, and gene-drift are most likely responsible for this. |
