Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of six Malays sub-ethnic groups in peninsular Malaysia as inferred from autosomal Alu insertion polymorphism / Azzura Abdullah
Alu insertion polymorphsims is referred to those relatively several elements that presence in the genomes of some individuals and absence from others. The insertions of Alu elements are approximately 300 bp in length that mobilise via the process of retroposition. Alu insertion has several advantage...

Alu insertion polymorphsims is referred to those relatively several elements that presence in the genomes of some individuals and absence from others. The insertions of Alu elements are approximately 300 bp in length that mobilise via the process of retroposition. Alu insertion has several advantages as compared to other polymorphic markers. Firstly, they are identical by descent (IBD), mean all chromosomes carrying a polymorphic Alu element are inherited from common ancestor and once inserted they do not appear to be subject to loss or rearrangement. Thus it will reflect both the maternal and paternal history of a population. Malays are the largest ethnic groups in Malaysia which can be divided into 14 sub-ethnic groups based on their migration history hundred years ago. Even though Malays ethnic have believed to be one of genetically diverse population but the number of studies which focus on their genetic information and population structure is very limited. In this study we showed the genetic diversity and phylogenetic tree of six Malays sub-ethnic groups from eight autosomal Alu loci that frequently use in population genetic studies (A25, ACE, APO, DI, B65, FXIIIB, PV92, and TPA25). The eight Alu loci were typed in 208 of healthy and unrelated individuals from six Malays sub-ethnic groups (Minangkabau-Malays, Jawa- Malays, Bugis-Malays, Banjar-Malays, Rawa-Malays, and Kelantan-Malays).
