We found that the 16 most frequent haplotypes in Puebla are all of them Native American. Admixture estimates revealed that the main genetic components in the state of Puebla are Native American (72.21 $\pm$ 1.25 by ML; 63.30 of Native American haplotypes) and European (21.05 $\pm$ 1.92 by ML; 23.86 of European haplotypes), and a less prominent African genetic component (6.74 $\pm$ 2.20 by ML; 6.20 of African haplotypes).}}, journal = {{Human Immunology}}, volume = {81}, number = {9}, pages = {547--549}, }
