“…In the present study, all subpopulations showed almost the same gene frequency except for that of Pusan. Bajatzadeh and Walter [4] esti mated the frequency of the Mand N genes to 0.556 and 0.444, respectively, from data of 115 Korean nurses in West Germany.…”

Eight populations in the southern part of the Korean peninsula were studied to elucidate their genetic structure and to understand the genetic relationships between them. For this purpose, several blood groups and other genetic markers were analyzed. In total, over 9,000 blood specimens were collected. About 2,000 specimens were tested for 9 blood groups.The gene frequencies were estimated as A = 0.2555, B = 0.2244,·= 0.5201, M = 0.5263, 5 = 0.0560, d = 0.0472, C = 0.6542, E = 0.3126, Fy^a = 0.9210, Jk^a = 0.4386, DP = 0.0539, P₁ = 0.1939, K = 0.0010, Le = 0.6866 and Se = 0.6311 in the total sample. A continuous variation was observed for the frequency of gene B.

“…Kang and Lee (1973) and Nakajima (1973) reported on the distribution of blood groups in Koreans. The distribution of electrophoretic variations of serum proteins has been studied by Bajatzadeh andWalter (19691, Kellermann andWalter (19701, Kitchin andBearn 119641, Omoto et al (1963/64), Shim (19641, andShim and. In general, Koreans are characterized by a very low frequency of abnormal haemoglobin and GGPD deficiency (Blackwell et al, 1967(Blackwell et al, , 1968Shim et al, 1969;Livingstone, 1985).…”

A population genetic study was undertaken to investigate the origin of Koreans. Thirteen polymorphic and 7 monomorphic blood genetic markers (serum proteins and red cell enzymes) were studied in a group of 437 Koreans. Genetic distance analyses by both cluster and principal components models were performed between Koreans and eight other populations (Koreans in China, Japanese, Han Chinese, Mongolians, Zhuangs, Malays, Javanese, and Soviet Asians) on the basis of 47 alleles controlled by 15 polymorphic loci. A more detailed analysis using 65 alleles at 19 polymorphic loci was performed on six populations. Both analyses demonstrated genetic evidence of the origin of Koreans from the central Asian Mongolians. Further, the Koreans are more closely related to the Japanese and quite distant from the Chinese. The above evidence of the origin of Koreans fits well with the ethnohistoric account of the origin of Koreans and the Korean language. The minority Koreans in China also maintained their genetic identity.

“…However uniform data for several genetic markers on the mongoloid populations of Cis-Himalayan regions and for others far-east or south-east Asian, is not available. In nineteen populations from the above regions the data for ABO, MNSs and Rh systems were collected, however, for 9 of these mongoloid groups additional data for Kell, Duffy, 6PGD, AK, AP, PGM and AP systems were available (Bhasin et al, 1986;Windhof and Walter, 1983;Mourant et al, 1968;Harvey et aI., 1978;Singh et al, 1986;Das et al, 1987;Rouger et al, 1982;Mya-tu et al, 1971;Bhattacharjee, 1975;Bajatzadeh and Walter, 1969;Lin, 1975, andWatanabe et al, 1974). We have thus computed two kinship matrices one based on three genetic systems for twenty populations and the other on the information provided by ten polymorphic systems for ten populations.…”

Serogenetic investigations of Tibetans and Himachalis from Himachal Pradesh, India: Genetic relationship between Tibetans and certain selected mongoloid populations

SummaryTwenty two serogenetic systems were investigated in 115 Tibetans and 128 Himachalis from the state of Himachal Pradesh, northwest India. For eight of the loci (ABO, Rh, MNSs, P, Fy, 6PGD, EsD, and AK) the two populations showed conclusive heterogeneity and their frequency distribution showed that the serogenetic differences between two populations are due to their different racial affliations. The Tibetans were also analysed for their genetic relationship with certain selected populations from the Cis-Himalayan, far east and south Asian regions. The calculations of the Harpending's kinship matrix R and the genetic distances showed that the Tibetans are closer to the mongoloid populations of the Cis-Himalayan region and the differences in the present day population structure of the mongoloid groups of this region are more likely to be due to differential migration, admixture and racial affliation although there is a slight possibility of disruptive selection for certain loci such as 6PGD and AK which showed an exceptionally high value of Canning (6PGD*C) and AK*I genes.
