  • Title: Globin genes are useful markers to identify genetic similarities between Fijians and Pacific Islanders from Polynesia and Melanesia.
    Author: Trent RJ, Buchanan JG, Webb A, Goundar RP, Seruvatu LM, Mickleson KN.
    Journal: Am J Hum Genet; 1988 Apr; 42(4):601-7. PubMed ID: 2894762.
    Abstract:
    DNA mapping studies in Fijians have enabled the identification of rearrangements and RFLPs involving the alpha-, zeta-, and gamma-globin genes. Comparisons of these data with corresponding gene markers in Polynesians and Melanesians of Papua New Guinea show considerable overlap between the three population groups. The utility of globin genes as population markers is further confirmed.
