An analysis of a highly polymorphic region of the apolipoprotein B gene 3′-end DNA (Apo B 3′-VNTR), represented by 10 alleles, was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction. Data inferred from the principal component analysis indicate that the Udmurts occupy an isolated position among the populations constituting the northern branch of Caucasoid peoples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
