Figure 1.
MDS of several populations LCT haplotypes.
Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling analysis of LCT haplotypes based on DA distance showing the relationships among the four Brazilian populations with their parental groups: Brazilian Amerindians [26]; Southern Europeans, Northern Europeans, and Bantu-speaking South Africans [14]. NorEur = Northern European, SouEur = Southern European, Euro = Porto Alegre Euro-descendant, Afro = Porto Alegre Afro-descendant.
