Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from 201 unrelated Mongolian individuals in the three different regions was analyzed. The Mongolians took the dominant East Asian-specific haplogroups, and some European-prevalent haplogroups were detected. The East Asians-specific haplogroups distributed from east to west in decreasing frequencies, and the European-specific haplogroups distributed conversely. These genetic data suggest that the Mongolian empire played an important role in the maternal genetic admixture across Mongolians and even Central Asian populations, whereas the Silk Road might have contributed little in the admixture between the East Asians and the Europeans.
对来自三个不同地区的201名无亲缘关系的蒙古族个体的线粒体脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）进行了分析。蒙古族以东亚特有的单倍群为主，同时也检测到一些欧洲常见的单倍群。东亚特有的单倍群从东向西频率逐渐降低，而欧洲特有的单倍群分布情况则相反。这些遗传数据表明，蒙古帝国在蒙古族乃至中亚人群的母系基因混合中发挥了重要作用，而丝绸之路在东亚人和欧洲人的基因混合中可能贡献不大。
