Abstract
Malay subethnic group in Peninsular Malaysia has a rich culture and tradition including historical knowledge and cultural heritage, which might be reflected in the current genetic makeup of its population. The genetic polymorphism of the Y chromosome at DYS 287 Y Alu Polymorphism (YAP) locus in Kelantan Malay and Jawa Malay subethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia was analyzed. A total of 157 buccal cells from healthy unrelated males (115 Kelantan Malays and 42 Jawa Malays) from different regions of Peninsular Malaysia were scanned for the DYS 287 Y Alu locus from the genomic DNA. The PCR products were separated on 2 % agarose gel and visualized under UV light. It shows that Kelantan Malay and Jawa Malay subethnic groups are completely absent for the DYS 287 Y Alu Polymorphism. This study has provided the information on the distribution of DYS 287 Y Alu Polymorphism in Kelantan Malay and Jawa Malay sub-ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia. Further study will be taken up on more sample in Peninsular Malaysia to determine more DYS 287 Y Alu Polymorphism status.
