Popis: The Y chromosome of 523 Italian male subjects was examined for the 49a,f TaqI haplotype XII and for two microsatellites, YCAIIa and YCAIIb. Results were then compared to other populations living in the western Mediterranean basin whom we had previously studied: 419 French (including 328 Corsicans), 46 Italians from Milan, and 73 Tunisians. Haplotype XII is present in 127 out of the 1061 examined samples (11.9%), and most of the haplotype XII subjects are of the compound haplotype YCAIIa-21 and YCAIIb-11. Two peaks of haplotype XII frequencies occur in the north of Sardinia (35%) and in the central area of Corsica (17.4%).
