Composición genética de la población chilena: los atacameños de la comuna de San Pedro de Atacama / Genetic composition of chilean population: the atacameños from San Pedro de Atacama

RESUMO

This work describes the genetic composition of atacameños from San Pedro de Atacama. The results show that a) the contribution of non-indigenous genes is relatively low, in relation to the spanish inmigration period. b) the Hardy-Weinberg genetics disequilibrium for MNSs system should have biological implications. c) the variant for esterasa D enzyme may be the same found in other chilean populations
