The aim of the research was to study the genetic structure of Corsica and to add further to our knowledge about microgeographic variability of polymorphisms in Corsica. The analysis, carried out by genetic distances and R-matrix through 39 alleles of 13 genetic markers, reveals a certain degree of differentiation within Corsica. The results show a genetic heterogeneity between Corsica and other European and Mediterranean populations, although the genetic differences appear to be smaller between Corsicans and Sardinians than among Corsicans and other compiled populations.
