The dominant haplogroup in the Dadianzi people was D4 shared by
five individuals who were associated with four different
haplotypes. The other haplotype belonging to haplogroup D in the
Dadianzi population was designated as D5 by the mutation at site
16 189 (T to C). The haplogroup M7c included two haplotypes,
which were shared by two individuals in ancient Dadianzi people.
The other haplogroups, including A4, F1b, G1a, M9a, M10 and M8z,
were each present in one individual. Seven male samples were
chosen for Y chromosome SNPs among the 14 individuals. Three
samples (S1, S2 and S13) exhibited the mutations M89C-T, M9C-G,
M214T-C and M231G-A, which were attributed to haplogroup N (
N1C). Two samples (S8 and S12) exhibited the mutations: M89C-T,
M9C-G, M175-5 bp del and M122T-C, belonging to haplogroup O3
(M122). We failed to obtain any product from two samples (S5 and
S14) (Table 3). Journal of Human Genetics advance online
