title: Analysis of DYS19 and DYS287 polymorphisms in the Han population and three other ethnic groups of northeast China.
abstract: The allelic distribution of the Y-chromosome specific microsatellite DYS19 in the Han population and in the Daur, Oroqen and Ewenki ethnic groups (Northeast China) was analyzed by PCR and denatured polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The allelic distribution in the Han population group is as follows: A = 2.90%, B = 26.09%, C = 26.09%, D = 29.98%, E = 15.94%. This allelic distribution differs statistically significant from that observed in the three other ethnic groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore the polymorphism of the Y-chromosome specific Alu insert sequence DYS287 was tested in these four groups. However, no Alu sequence insert was found.
