Abstract

Objective:To determined the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 gene polymorphisms in GiaRai and Ede ethnic people living in central highlands. Subjects and methods: 54 peripheral blood samples of healthy people from Giarai and Ede ethnic groups were extracted DNA, amplified ND5, ND6 genes by PCR, purified DNA, and sequenced automatically. Then, ND5 and ND6 gene sequences were analyzed and compared with standard sequences using specialized software, comparing ND5, ND6 polymorphisms with polymorphisms published on MITOMAP. Results: ND5, ND6 sequences and the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6  gene polymorphisms in GiaRai and Ede ethnic people living in central highlands were identified. Conclusions: This study provided data on ND5 and ND6 gene sequence and polymorphisms in GiaRai and Ede ethnic groups living in the Central Highlands.
