Abstract

Analysis of FcγRIIA alleles in Pakistanis and in Trinidadians of South Asian, African and mixed ancestry revealed no significant differences between Trinidadian South Asians and Pakistanis. H131 homozygotes were more common among Trinidadian South Asians than among Africans and those of mixed ancestry. Comparison with other populations revealed east-west geographic gradients of allele frequencies.
