Mitochondrial DNA in Huaorani (Ecuadorian amerindians): A new variant in haplogroup A2

Abstract:

The Huaorani constitute the last nomadic people of hunters-gatherers in Ecuador. With the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the complex genetic map of Native Americans, we analyzed control region of the mitochondrial DNA. Due to polymorphisms 16293G, 16304C, 189G and 207A, a new possible subcluster for haplogroup A2 is reported herein. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
