A sample of 203 individuals from Ibiza (Balearic Islands, Spain) were tested for blood group and serum protein genetic variation and compared with other circum-Mediterranean populations. Allele frequencies were calculated for the following blood group and serum systems: ABO, Rh, MNSs, P, Lewis, Duffy, Kell, ORM, GC, TF, PI, and HP. The allele frequencies from Ibiza were compared with those from other Balearic Islands (Majorca and Minorca) and with related European and North African groups using an assortment of analytical methods (genetic distances, R matrix analysis, and Mantel tests). R matrix analysis revealed that Ibiza is genetically different from the other Balearic populations and, because of gene flow from Spain, clusters with European groups. The level of genetic microdifferentiation of the Mediterranean populations, measured by RST (average of the R matrix diagonal elements, rii), is 0.028. An examination of the relationship between genetic, geographic, and linguistic distances by Mantel tests revealed that genetic distances are significantly correlated with linguistic distances, whereas the genetic distances are not significantly correlated with geographic distances. The plot of mean per locus heterozygosity versus the genetic distance from the centroid of distribution revealed that all three Balearic Islands have experienced considerable gene flow but that Ibiza has been most affected by the action of stochastic processes.
