Molecular analysis of mutations and polymorphisms of the Lewis secretor type α(1,2)-fucosyltransferase gene reveals that Taiwan aborigines are of Austronesian derivation
The origins of the Taiwan aborigines have not been fully resolved. Anthropological and linguistic studies have indicated that their ancestry is mainly Austronesian or Malayopolynesian. Some polymorphisms and ...
