Each sample was analysed for 5 red cell antigen systems, ABO, MNS, RH, KEL and FY. The Australian born sample was more similar to the Italians than the Greeks except for KEL R matrix and genetic distance analyses indicated that the Greek immigrants were similar to Greeks in Greece, but that Italian immigrants to Melbourne were not as close to a Southern Italian sample as their origins would suggest.
