  • Title: Paternal European ancestry in French Polynesia detected by Y-chromosome haplotypes.
    Author: Lucotte G.
    Journal: Hum Biol; 2003 Feb; 75(1):129-33. PubMed ID: 12713153.
    Abstract:
    Y-chromosome-specific polymorphisms p49f-a/TaqI were studied in a sample of 68 French Polynesians, and five haplotypes were observed. Three of them were haplotypes characteristic of European ancestry. The mean haplotype (45.6%) in French Polynesia is haplotype XV, a typical western European haplotype. Such an elevated frequency of European haplotypes is due to male gene flow from Europeans in French Polynesia.
