Abstract
Background Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has been used in many areas, including forensic genetics. Due to the rapid development of sequencing technology, whole mtDNA sequencing is now possible and may be used in epidemiological and forensic studies. This study aimed to use whole mtDNA sequencing to investigate 47 Chongqing Han populations in southwest China and the diversity in the mtGenome reference data. Material/Methods The mtDNA of 47 Chongqing Han populations was generated using the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) system. The extent of the effects of the mtDNA on the subpopulations was investigated and compared with six other populations from published studies. Pairwise fixation index (FST), a measure of population differentiation due to genetic structure, were calculated. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was performed, and 1257 hypervariable region data sets were added to the principal component analysis (PCA). Results The whole mtDNA sequencing data of 47 southwest Chinese Han populations were successfully recovered. Expanding the sequencing rage increased the discrimination power of mtDNA from three-times to 25-times based on different populations. The subpopulation effects showed 20 times the differences in match probability when compared with south China regions. Conclusions Whole mtDNA sequencing distinguished between individuals from 47 Chongqing Han populations in southwest China and has potential applications that include high-quality forensic identification.

PLoS One 2017; 12:e0182769. [PMID: 28846698 PMCID: PMC5573569 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0182769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2017] [Accepted: 07/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
To determine whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations are associated with schizophrenia, 313 patients with schizophrenia and 326 unaffected participants of the northern Chinese Han population were included in a prospective study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including C5178A, A10398G, G13708A, and C13928G were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP). Hypervariable regions I and II (HVSI and HVSII) were analyzed by sequencing. The results showed that the 4 SNPs and 11 haplotypes, composed of the 4 SNPs, did not differ significantly between patient and control groups. No significant association between haplogroups and the risk of schizophrenia was ascertained after Bonferroni correction. Drawing a conclusion, there was no evidence of an association between mtDNA (the 4 SNPs and the control region) and schizophrenia in the northern Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations played crucial roles on affecting the susceptibility to cancer. In this study, to investigate whether mitochondrial DNA mutations contributed to the genetic susceptibility of Chinese tongue cancer patients, mtDNA control regions of 105 Chinese tongue cancer patients were amplified and sequenced, the mutations were recorded by comparing with the revised Cambridge Reference Sequence (rCRS), which were attributed to certain mtDNA haplogroups based on the specific variations motif of each patients. The Miao Chinese group (a Chinese ethnic minority) from surrounding region has no essential difference with tongue cancer group, which was taken as the matched control group with principal component analysis by taking the haplogroups frequency of 105 tongue cancer individuals and 354 healthy individuals of eight groups from the similar geographic regions as input factors. This was supported by the smallest genetic distance between tongue cancer and Miao_2 groups. Further, the statistical analysis based on mtDNA variations of hypervariable sequence I (HVSI) indicated that 13 variations including 16,124, 16,148, 16,182C, 16,183C, 16,227, 16,266A, 16,249, 16,272, 16,291, 16,327, 16,335, 16,497, and 16,519 have significant differences between tongue cancer group and matched control group. Comparison of mtDNA haplogroups between tongue cancer and control groups indicated that mtDNA haplogroups C, F2*, and M10 have significant differences. It's worth noting that 16,327 and 16,291 was the defining variation of haplogroups C and F2*, respectively. Our results suggested that mitochondrial DNA may play a crucial role for the maternal genetic susceptibility of tongue cancer patients from Hunan, central of China.

Abstract
This study characterized the genetic variations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to elucidate the maternal genetic structure of Liaoning Han Chinese. A total of 317 blood samples of unrelated individuals were collected for analysis in Liaoning Province. The mtDNA samples were analyzed using two distinct methods: sequencing of the hypervariable sequences I and II (HVSI and HVSII), and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the coding region. The results indicated a high gene diversity value (0.9997 ± 0.0003), a high polymorphism information content (0.99668) and a random match probability (0.00332). These samples were classified into 305 haplotypes, with 9 shared haplotypes. The most common haplogroup was D4 (12.93%). The principal component analysis map, the phylogenetic tree map, and the genetic distance matrix all indicated that the genetic distance of the Liaoning Han population from the Tibetan group was distant, whereas that from the Miao group was relatively close.

Abstract
The two hypervariable segments (HVS-I and HVS-II) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region were sequenced for a population of 208 unrelated healthy individuals sampled from Suiping County, Henan Province, China. A total of 192 different haplotypes were identified, of which 179 haplotypes were unique (93.23%). The variation of the mtDNA HVS-I and HVS-II was confined to 166 nucleotide positions, of which 115 were observed in the HVS-I and 51 in the HVS-II. The haplotype diversity and random match probability were 0.9991 and 0.0061, respectively. Following the principle of the updated East Asian mtDNA phylogeny tree, individual samples were assigned to the specific haplogroups based on the information both from control region and coding-region obtained. Haplogroup D was the most common haplogroup (25.96%). The northern China-prevalent haplogroups (A, C, D, G, M8, Y, and Z) and the southern China-prevalent haplogroups (B, F, M7, N9, and R9) accounted for 48.56% and 46.63%, respectively, of the Henan Han mtDNA gene pool. The mtDNA hypervariable region was highly polymorphic in Henan Han population. These sequences could serve as mtDNA reference data for forensic casework in Henan population as well as for population genetic study.
