Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variations at hypervariable regions HVI, HVII and HVIII were analysed in 100 unrelated Italians from Bologna. The values of the statistical parameters are in agreement with the range of European populations. We suggest that the less informative HVIII region may be useful to distinguish HVI-HVII identical sequences in forensic analysis especially when nuclear DNA cannot be investigated.
对来自博洛尼亚的100名无亲缘关系的意大利人的线粒体DNA(mtDNA)高变区HVI、HVII和HVIII的序列变异进行了分析。统计参数值与欧洲人群的范围一致。我们认为,信息量较少的HVIII区域可能有助于在法医分析中区分HVI - HVII相同序列,特别是在无法检测核DNA时。
