“…The three mtDNA types found in the Ainu were also found in the Non-Ainu and no significant difference was detected between the two groups. These results are compatible with those of the recent genetic studies using blood protein and antigen markers suggesting that the Ainu have closer genetic relation to Mongoloids than to Caucasoids or other racial groups (Misawa and Hayashida, 1968;Mittal et al, 1972;Omoto, 1972).…”

“…Although earlier anthropological observations based on morphological features gave birth to the belief that the Ainu belonged to the Caucasoid race, recent genetic studies indicated their close relations to the Mongoloid race (Misawa and Hayashida, 1968;Mittal et al, 1972;Omoto, 1972;Omoto, 1975). However, because of the considerable admixture in the present-day Ainu (Omoto, 1973), the findings based on the variation of nuclear genes are subject to the question as to racial origins of the Ainu.…”

SummaryRestriction enzyme fragment patterns of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed using total DNAs from the blood cells of 122 Japanese (Ainu and Non-Ainu) living in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Polymorphisms were detected and the mtDNAs were classified into eleven types using four enzymes, AvaII, HincII, HpaI and PvuII. The distribution of the mtDNA morphs was not significantly different between the Ainu and the Non-Ainu samples, supporting the views that the Ainu are genetically one of the Mongoloid populations.

“…The frequency of the gene Q was similar tot hat of the Ainu (27.2%, MISAWA and HAYASHIDA, 1968;1970;1974) et al, 1954), the present figure is in agreement with those of another Mongolians.…”
