Random inbreeding, isonymy, and population isolates in Argentina. [PDF]
Population isolates are an important tool in identifying and mapping genes of Mendelian diseases and complex traits. The geographical identification of isolates represents a priority from a genetic and health care standpoint. The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution of consanguinity by random isonymy (F ST) in Argentina and its ...

SummaryAn estimate of the proportion of marriages isonymous due to random mating is given which, unlike the method of Crow and Mange, takes into account the effects of marital propinquity and age difference between spouses. When applied to a small Caribbean population, this measure is significantly different from the Crow/Mange estimate, and leads to a

Isonymy in records of births and deaths in Ferrara
Surname distributions were studied in records of male and female births in Ferrara in the period 1982-89, and in records of male and female deaths in the same period. Average year of birth and standard deviation was 1985 +/- 2.3 for the birth series, and 1912 +/- 14.4 for the death series.

Microevolution in Ferrara: Isonymy 1890–1990
The distribution of surnames in the population of the town of Ferrara, as it existed in the memory banks of the Municipality Computer in June 1990, was studied by sex, age and place of birth of residents. Random isonymy was studied separately in persons born before 1901, and in persons born in the nine decades thereafter, ending with the period 1981-90.

Microevolution in Perugia: isonymy 1890–1990
The distribution of surnames in the population of the Comune of Perugia, as it existed in the memory banks of the Municipality Computer in autumn 1991, was studied by age and place of birth. Fisher's alpha and Karlin-McGregor's v were estimated in the total population, in persons born before 1901, and in persons born in the nine decades thereafter ...

Isonymy and inbreeding in Boyacá, Colombia: Implications for rare disease risk
The frequency of rare and orphan genetic diseases is high in some populations in the Colombian department of Boyacá. This is arguably associated with the elevated consanguinity in the region, which can increase autozygosity and the expression of ...

Isonymy in emigrants from Ferrara in 1981–1988
The distribution of surnames in the emigrants from the population of the town of Ferrara in the period 1981-88 was studied by sex and place of birth, namely Ferrara versus other places. Emigrants born in Ferrara were defined as first time emigrants and those who had previously immigrated to Ferrara were defined second time emigrants.
