ABSTRACT
Objective To analysis the frequency of 9 bp deletion polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA(mt DNA)among Miao population in three geographical regions of Guizhou.Methods Polymerase chain reaction and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PCR-PAGE)were used in the study of mtDNA 9 bp deletion polymorphism,DNA sequence was used to verify the results.Results Each group who come from Basa,Shajin,Longjie in Guizhou,the frequency of 9 bp deletion of mtDNA value as 19.15%(9/47), 42.5%(17/40)and 29.55%(13/43).Short polymorphic frequency difference was statistically significant between Basa and Shajin groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The frequencies of 9 bp deletion of mtDNA are relatively high in Miao ethnic group in Guizhou. There are certain differences of the delegation frequencies among these groups.
ABSTRACT
0.05).Conclusion The 15 STR loci of Miao ethnic group show the characteristics of high polymorphism and hereditary stability.Therefore,the obtained data can be of applicable value in human population of Guangxi Miao genetics investigation,and forensic application,as well as individual identification and parent checkup.
