The genealogy of Gypsies is complex, but they are divided into 3 principal tribal groups, the Roma, the Cales (or Gitanos), and the Munush (or Sinti). Irish Travellers are often confused with Roma Gypsies but they remain a separate ethnic group (see “Results and discussion”).
Arbitrary numbers based on the analysis of 4 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers flanking FANCA. Each chromosome/allele is defined by a haplotype block including the 4 markers. All Spanish patients except the one of Romanian origin were homozygous for a given haplotype block (1) and all the other patients but VU483 were homozygous for a specific but different haplotype block (2, 4, etc..).
ND indicates mutation not detected; the 295C > T mutation was disregarded in the last 7 patients shown in the table.
This patient corresponds to cell line EUFA/VU544.
