Abstract

This article examines the patterns of contemporary labour mobility and migrations in search of better living conditions and livelihoods amongst the Albanian population in the Republic of Macedonia. Effects of migration are studied in the context of the social and cultural practices and connections which individuals and groups carry and develop, and their reflections on the places of origin. Special attention is paid to the effects of financial and social remittances upon living conditions, infrastructure and architecture in home places; the changes in local social organization and family–kin relationships; and the ways connections and relationships between migrants and non-migrants affect individuals’ roles and social status.

Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study was to analyze Killer Ig-Like Receptor ( KIR ) gene polymorphisms in Albanians from Republic of Macedonia. MATERIAL NA METHODS: The studied sample consists of 104 healthy unrelated individuals, aged 20-45 years. All individuals are of Albanian nationality, residents of different geographical regions (Skopje, Gostivar, and Tetovo) in Republic of Macedonia. The population genetics analysis package, Arlequin, was used for analysis of the data. RESULTS: All 16 KIR genes known were observed in the Albanian individuals and framework genes (KIR3DL3, KIR 3DP1, KIR 2DL4, and KIR3 DL2) were present in all individuals. The frequencies of other KIR genes were: KIR 2DP1 (0.981) , KIR 2DL1 (1), KIR 2DL2 (0.615), KIR 2DL3 (0.865), KIR 2DL5 (0.414), KIR 3DL1 (0.933), KIR 2DS1 (0.462), KIR 2DS2 (0.606), KIR 2DS3 (0.327), KIR2DS4 (0.875) , KIR 2DS5 (0.298), and KIR 3DS1 (0.442). Tested linkage disequilibrium (LD) among KIR genes demonstrated that KIR genes present a wide range of linkage disequilibrium. CONCLUSION: This is the first study analyzing the polymorphism of KIR genes and genotype frequencies in Albanian individuals in the world. The results can be used for anthropological comparisons.
