Extract

Data are presented on the ethnological, demographic, reproductive, immunological and medical characteristics of the gypsy isolates in Slovenia. It is concluded that the Slovenian gypsies are a different ethnic group from the surrounding panmictic Slav population and on the basis of anthropological, linguistic, sociological and psychological characteristics their settlements can be characterized as isolates in the population genetics sense.
