An autosomal haplotype system, H19HP, is composed of 23 SNPs with high diversity in ethnic groups, and also a parent-of-origin detectable polymorphism. In this study, the distribution of H19HP haplotypes in seven Asian populations (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, Burmese, Thai and Turk) was investigated. Five haplotypes, 2, 6, 10, 15 and 17, were commonly and dominantly observed in each population. Several new population-specific sequences, including haplotype 21, were detected. Interestingly, haplotype 19, which is haplotype 17 with one SNP (rs76162918), was observed almost exclusively in Japanese subjects from four areas, with a significant frequency of about 8% on average. This system might therefore be useful as a forensic tool, not only for human identification purposes, but also for determining ethnicity, especially for Japanese subjects.
