Genetic relationship of populations in China

Abstract: Despite the fact that the continuity of morphology of fossil specimens of modern humans found in China has repeatedly challenged the Out-of-Africa hypothesis, Chinese populations are underrepresented in genetic studies. Genetic profiles of 28 populations sampled in China supported the distinction between southern and northern populations, while the latter are biphyletic. Linguistic boundaries are often transgressed across language families studied, ref lecting substantial gene f low between populations. Nevert… Show more

“…Northeast Asia is the major contributor to both Tibet (63.4%) and Tamang (59.7%) whereas Newar (44.7%) and Bhutan (41.1%) received equivalent percentages, followed by Kathmandu (22.3%). These results corroborate studies indicating a shared common ancestry between Tibet and the Northeast Asian collections of Japan and Korea by a variety of marker systems, including classical, 61,62 autosomal, 63 Y-chromosome 1,12,64,65 and mtDNA. 12,64,66,67 On the genetic origins of the Tibeto-Burman populations of the Himalayas T Gayden et al…”

“…36 This study represents the largest number of founder event mutation profiles identified so far in Han populations. On the basis of the presumed population distribution and migration patterns of Han populations in East Asia as determined by population genetic studies 30 and the specific haplotypes of these founder mutations, we speculate that these common mutations in the PTS gene of East Asian individuals all originated from Han populations.…”

“…29 Excluding the Filipinos, no significant difference in the allele frequency for D11S1347 was seen across the populations studied (P40.05 for all groups), although a distinction has been previously proposed for southern and northern populations in East Asia. 30 The founder events and mutations in East Asia To examine the possibility of founder event effects involving the PTS common mutations observed in East Asia, the haplotype of mutations in conjunction with D11S1347 alleles were evaluated by DNA analysis for samples where samples from the parents of probands were available. There were 43 (Table 2, Po0.01 for all groups).…”

“…15 Moreover, the STR loci are especially valuable for the study of genetic relationships of closely related populations. [16][17][18][19] In this study, we applied the autosomal STR variation analysis to three population samples from Tibet to explore the peopling of the Himalayas.…”
