Abstract
Sequence polymorphism of the hypervariable regions HVI, HVII and HVIII of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was analyzed in a sample of 400 unrelated Japanese individuals living in Gifu Prefecture (central region of Japan) by PCR amplification and direct sequencing. A total of 308 different haplotypes resulting from 187 polymorphic positions was found in our Japanese population sample. The most common haplotype was shared by 10 individuals. The genetic diversity and the genetic identity were calculated to be 0.9975 and 0.0050, respectively.
