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...

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.

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.

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). All selected individual were restricted to inclusion factor of three pure generations. All Alu loci were polymorphic in all sub-ethnics. Analyses of, eight Alu insertion markers generate differentiation variation pattern among six Malays sub-ethnic groups studied. The FST value of all Alu loci for populations in this study was 0.0464 which demonstrate there is little genetic subdivision occur as the value was less than 0.05. The positive value of FIS and FIT indicate that there was an excess of homozygotes and the population might be inbred. The phylogenetic tree constructions from A25, ACE, APO, DI and FXIIIB Alu loci for six Malays sub-ethnic groups in this study reveal that Bugis-Malays, Banjar-Malays and Jawa-Malay were closely grouped together whereas Minangkabau- Malays was group with Rawa-Malays. Meanwhile, Kelantan-Malays population might have separated earlier than Java Sea population and could have had ancestry which more divergent as they present at a more basal position for all phylogenetic trees constructed compared to other Malays sub-ethnic. The information obtained from this study could be used as additional information for genetic differentiation among Malays sub-ethnic groups and essential data in order determine the origin of Malays in Peninsular Malaysia. 2019 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/89248/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/89248/1/89248.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Applied Science Mohd.
