To estimate genetic and forensic parameters, the entire mitochondrial DNA control region of 100 unrelated Makrani individuals (males, n=96; females, n=4) living in Pakistan (Turbat, Panjgur, Awaran, Kharan, Nasirabad, Gwadar, Buleda, Karachi and Burewala) was sequenced. We observed a total of 70 different haplotypes of which 54 were unique and 16 were shared by more than one individual. The Makrani population showed a high genetic diversity (0.9688) and, consequently, a high power of discrimination (0.9592). Our results revealed a strongly admixed mtDNA pool composed of African haplogroups (28%), West Eurasian haplogroups (26%), South Asian haplogroups (24%), and East Asian haplogroups (2%), while the origin of the remaining individuals (20%) could not be confidently assigned. The results of this study are a valuable contribution to build a database of mtDNA variation in Pakistan.
为了估计遗传和法医参数，我们对生活在巴基斯坦（图尔巴特、潘杰古尔、阿瓦兰、哈兰、纳西拉巴德、瓜达尔、布雷达、卡拉奇和布勒瓦拉）的100名无亲缘关系的马克拉尼个体（男性，n = 96；女性，n = 4）的整个线粒体DNA控制区进行了测序。我们共观察到70种不同的单倍型，其中54种是独特的，16种为多个个体所共有。马克拉尼人群显示出较高的遗传多样性（0.9688），因此，具有较高的鉴别力（0.9592）。我们的结果揭示了一个高度混合的线粒体DNA库，其中包括非洲单倍群（28%）、西欧亚单倍群（26%）、南亚单倍群（24%）和东亚单倍群（2%），而其余个体（20%）的起源无法确定。本研究结果为建立巴基斯坦线粒体DNA变异数据库做出了宝贵贡献。
