title: [Polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA region V in Bouyei people and Miao people living in Guizhou province of China].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA region V in Bouyei people and Miao people living in Guizhou province of China.
  
  
  METHODS
  Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were used in the study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Only two kinds of polymorphism were found in Bouyei and Miao people. One was standard pattern, the other short pattern. And the frequencies of short pattern(9 bp deletion) in Bouyei and Miao people were 31.1% and 33.3% respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA region V in Bouyei people and Miao people living in Guizhou province of China are similar, but they are different from those in other people.
