Abstract:
Phenotype and gene frequencies of polymorphic systems in blood specimens from 796 donors in Northumberland and Durham (north-east England) were analysed according to region of residence. Significant differences exist among the five geographically defined subpopulations, and it is argued that these derive from patterns of historical settlement.
