We find that the ten most frequent haplotypes found in the state of Nayarit include eight Native American and two European haplotypes. Admixture estimates revealed that the main genetic components in the state of Nayarit are Native American (50.79 $\pm$ 5.03 by ML; 42.24 of Native American haplotypes) and European (37.04 $\pm$ 6.21 by ML; 35.72 of European haplotypes), while African genetic component is less apparent but relatively high (12.17 $\pm$ 2.50 by ML; 13.36 of African haplotypes).}}, journal = {{Human Immunology}}, volume = {81}, number = {9}, pages = {499--501}, }
