Abstract

The polymorphism of the major noncoding region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA D loop, 528 bp) has been studied in samples from three modern Kazakh populations (from Almaty, the Semipalatinsk Region, and the Altai Mountains) and in DNA samples of ancient human populations of the Kazakhstani Altai. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis for 13 restriction sites, including BamHI, EcoRV, Sau3AI (one site each), KpnI (two sites), HaeIII (three sites), and RsaI (five sites) were used. The frequency distributions of all sites have been determined. The gene diversity (h) and the genetic distances between different Kazakh populations and other populations of the world have been calculated. The RFLP analysis of the mtDNA control region of fossil samples has been performed similarly to the analysis of modern mtDNA samples. Two fossil mtDNA samples from burial mound 11 are monomorphic with respect to all restriction sites analyzed.
