“…C3*F frequencies vary from 0 to .017, which is very low, but characteristic for Mongoloid populations, in which C3*F frequencies between 0 and .06 have been observed. Zhao (1983) found .004 in Chinese from Shanghai, whereas the corresponding values varied from .002 to .012 in three Chinese minorities (Mongolians, Koreans, and Zhuang), as reported by Goedde et al (1984). The rare allele C3*S0.25, which was observed by these investigators in Mongolians and Koreans (frequencies .005 and .003, respectively), could not be found in our population sample.…”

In various ethnic groups of the Indonesian archipelago and of Bali, the polymorphisms of the serum proteins Gc globulin (vitamin D-binding protein), C3 (complement component 3), Bf (complement factor B), Ag x,y (lipoprotein allotypes), and of the red cell enzyme system GALT (galactose-1P-uridyltransferase) were analysed. Among the studied proteins, the Gc system was the most informative one for the anthropologist. Besides considerable differences of frequencies of the common alleles Gc*1F, Gc*1S and Gc*2, a number of rare alleles (1A1, 1A3, 1A8, 1A9, 1A12, 1C2, 1C21, 1C24, and 2C8) and some new ones (1C28, 1C29, 1C30, 2C9) were observed. The presence of Gc*1A1 demonstrates the relationship to the Australo-Melanesian populations, but Mongolian variants (1A3, 1A8, 1A9, 1C2) were also encountered. Within the C3 system a very high frequency of the C3*S allele was observed in all populations. The rare alleles C3*F0.55, C3S1, and C3*S0.5 were observed in some groups. A new allele (C3*F0.35) was detected in a Chinese individual and in a nobleman from Bali. The frequency of the Bf*F allele was rather low in general, and the Bf*S0.7 allele was found in three Indonesian individuals only. The Ag*(x) frequencies were rather high, as it is known for Asiatic populations. Variability among subgroups was not very pronounced. The GALT*2 allele (Duarte variant of the enzyme) was observed very rarely; however, it was present in several populations. Enzyme activities could not be determined, and therefore we cannot tell whether the galactosaemia gene (GALT*0) was present or not.

“…The sources of some additional data were as follows: GPT (Ueda et al, 1979) and ESD (Omoto et al, 1975). The data on blood genetic markers of Koreans were taken from Yuan et al (1984) and Goedde et al (1984). The data on other populations were obtained from Roychoudhury and Nei (1988) and Masatoshi Nei (personal communication), with the exception of our unpublished data on two Negrito populations of the Philippines.…”

Based on the morphological characteristics of the skull and teeth, Hanihara ([1991] Japan Review 2:1-33) proposed the "dual structure model" for the formation of modern Japanese populations. We examine this model by dividing it into two independent hypotheses: 1) the Upper Paleolithic population of Japan that gave rise to the Neolithic Jomon people was of southeast Asian origin, and 2) modern Ainu and Ryukyuan (Okinawa) populations are direct descendants of the Jomon people, while Hondo (Main Island)-Japanese are mainly derived from the migrants from the northeast Asian continent after the Aeneolithic Yayoi period. Our aim is to examine the extent to which the model is supported by genetic evidence from modern populations, particularly from Japan and other Asian areas. Based on genetic distance analyses using data from up to 25 "classic" genetic markers, we find first that the three Japanese populations including Ainu and Ryukyuan clearly belong to a northeast Asian cluster group. This negates the first hypothesis of the model. Then, we find that Ainu and Ryukyuans share a group contrasting with Hondo-Japanese and Korean, supporting the second hypothesis of the model. Based on these results, we propose a modified version of the dual structure model which may explain the genetic, morphological, and archaeological evidence concerning the formation of modern Japanese populations.

The distribution of gene frequencies in the phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) system was investigated in two Japanese populations from Yamaguchi (Western Japan) and Okinawa (Southern Japan) using an improved isoelectric focusing method permitting the successful detection of the most anodal variant PGM1 3 + PGM1*7 + occurred with a polymorphic frequency of 0.012–0.021. A difference in the gene frequency was observed between the two populations. In comparison with neighboring populations, the Yamaguchi population was similar to Mongolians and Koreans in North China, and Okinawa to Zhuang in South China.
