The ALlele FREquency Database
ALFRED is a resource of gene frequency data on human populations
supported by the U. S. National Science Foundation.

Sample Description: This sample consists of healthy, unrelated Quechua-speaking males who were born and are residents of the Tayacaja province. They belong mainly to farming communities that were settled in the region before the arrival of the Spaniards. The participants parents are also native to the Tayacaja province. The Tayacaja province is located in the Peruvian Central Andes in South America.
