Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism in Han Chinese.MethodsThe complete mitochondrial genome of 26 unrelated healthy Han Chinese were extracted and sequenced.ResultsThe mtDNA nucleotide sites (2 706, 7 028, 8 860. 11 719, and 15 326) were found totally different from the Revised Cambridge Reference Sequence (rCRS). These single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were 2 706 A→G, 7 028 C→T. 8 860 A→G. 11 719 G→A, 15 326 A→G.ConclusionThese findings provide new insights into the characteristics of Han Chinese mitochondrial genetic diversity.
