We have studied the allele distribution of DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1 loci in 80 unrelated Gypsies living in different eastern areas of the Andalusian province of Granada (southern Spain). The frequency distribution of HLA class II alleles and the genetic distance of Andalusian Gypsies from several Caucasian populations indicate a marked similarity - but not total - of the former with the Gypsy population previously studied in Madrid (central Spain), which suggests that both groups migrated together out of India. In terms of genetic distance, both Gypsy groups are more like the Czech Gypsies and the Northern Indian groups than their neighbouring Caucasian non-Gypsy populations. In summary our data support the hypothesis of a common anthropological origin of all three European Gypsy groups, which probably split up after their arrival in Europe.
我们研究了居住在西班牙南部安达卢西亚省格拉纳达不同东部地区的80名无亲缘关系的吉普赛人的DRB1、DQB1和DPB1基因座的等位基因分布。HLA II类等位基因的频率分布以及安达卢西亚吉普赛人与几个高加索人群体的遗传距离表明，前者与之前在西班牙中部马德里研究过的吉普赛人群体有显著的相似性，但并非完全相同，这表明这两个群体是一起从印度迁移出来的。就遗传距离而言，这两个吉普赛群体与其相邻的高加索非吉普赛人群体相比，更类似于捷克吉普赛人和北印度群体。总之，我们的数据支持了所有三个欧洲吉普赛群体有共同人类学起源的假设，他们可能在抵达欧洲后才分开。
