“…has been done by calculating Fst-values and applying AMOVA (Arlequin3.1 software). There were no significant difference between the studied population and some neighboring populations including Chinese Mongol (Fst = 0.00187, p = 0.0537) [4], Han population in Beijing (Fst = 0.00065, p = 0.3187) [5], The comparative results showed that Sichuan Han population from west China has significant difference from Japanese (Fst = 0.0744, p < 10 À4 ) [6], southern Korea (Fst = 0.0451, p < 10 À4 ) [7], population (Spain) in the Canary Islands (Fst = 0.1340, p < 10 À4 ) [8], the Lithuanian minority residing in the northeastern Poland (Fst = 0.1252, p < 10 À4 ) [9], Tunisian population (Fst = 0.1192, p < 10 À4 ) [10], and Albanian population from Kosovo (Fst = 0.1529, p < 10 À4 ) [11]. Our haplotype data were also compared against the data available in YHRD, which currently includes 17,933 haplotypes in a set of 146 populations worldwide for extended haplotype (extHt, minHt + DYS438,439) data set (http:// www.yhrd.org, last update 28/2/2007).…”
