Abstract
We analyzed the sequence polymorphisms of hypervariable regions HVI, HVII and HVIII of mitochondrial DNA from Venezuelan individuals living in Caracas city (Venezuela). Excluding those polymorphisms in the homopolymeric cytosine stretch (C-stretch) regions, we identified in HVI, HVII, and HVIII, 83, 48 and 17 polymorphic sites, respectively. When sequences of HVI + HVII and HVI + HVII + HVIII were separately analyzed, we identified little differences in the total number of mutations observed.
