Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To shed light on the maternal contribution to the EBV transmission to the offspring, EBV genomic information was collected from mother-offspring pairs; only one third of the pairs shared the identical nucleotide sequence, whereas no significant EBV genomic diversity was confirmed in between patrilocal communities and matrilocal communities. These results indicates that EBV is an inappropriate ethnic marker. The 27-base deletion in the band 3 gene was suggested to be generated around 4000 years before in the central part of the Philippines by the haplotype analyses.
