METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were used in the study. RESULTS: Only two kinds of polymorphism were found in Bouyei and Miao people. One was standard pattern, the other short pattern. And the frequencies of short pattern(9 bp deletion) in Bouyei and Miao people were 31.1% and 33.3% respectively.
