Chromosome studies of the Ainu population of Hokkaido

Chromosome studies were carried out on metaphases from leukocyte cultures of 25 Ainu from Hokkaido and three Ainu, three Oroks and one Gilyak from Sakhalin. The chromosomes of four additional Hokkaido Ainu were studied in cells from skin cultures. No significant departures from the chromosome comple...

Description
Summary:Chromosome studies were carried out on metaphases from leukocyte cultures of 25 Ainu from Hokkaido and three Ainu, three Oroks and one Gilyak from Sakhalin. The chromosomes of four additional Hokkaido Ainu were studied in cells from skin cultures. No significant departures from the chromosome complement characterizing other human populations were detected.
