Abstract

Allele frequencies of mitochondrial D-loop (CA)(n) repeat was carried out in six Chinese ethnic groups: Han ethnic group in Beijing, Uygur ethnic group in Kashi of Xinjiang province, Li ethnic group in Hainan province, Yao ethnic group in Junan of Guangxi province, Tibet ethnic group in Lasa of Xizang province and Yi ethnic group in Honghe of Yunnan province. A total of 542 individuals were typed. Comparative analyses between our population data and other populations gathered from the literature were performed.
