Abstract
A total of 20 blood genetic systems (23 loci) was studied in a sample of 127 individuals from the town of Tacuarembo, Uruguay. Generally the frequencies observed are compatible with a mainly Caucasian populatio n, but the presence of some markers (FYnull, DI*a, G6PD*A, PCM2*2), a s well as the frequencies of some alleles (RHcde, GLO1*2, HP*1, HLA*A 2) suggest the presence of African and Amerindian derived genes. Diffe rences in relation to allele frequencies previously obtained in Montev ideo were also noted.
