Abstract
Restriction enzyme fragment patterns of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed using total DNAs from the blood cells of 122 Japanese (Ainu and Non-Ainu) living in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Polymorphisms were detected and the mtDNAs were classified into eleven types using four enzymes,AvaII,HincII,HpaI andPvuII. The distribution of the mtDNA morphs was not significantly different between the Ainu and the Non-Ainu samples, supporting the views that the Ainu are genetically one of the Mongoloid populations.
