•Abstract:   Both conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a new type of electrophoresis screening procedure indicate that the polymorphic albumin variants Naskapi, found chiefly in the Naskapi Indians of Quebec, and Mersin/Turkey, found in the Eti Turks of southeastern Turkey, are molecularly identical or very similar and that the amino acid substitution site in these variants is located between residues ……..

•This discovery is consistent with a genetic relationship between the Eti Turks and American Indians. http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=350084
