Ancient demographic events can be inferred from the distribution of biallelic polymorphisms of NRY. In our study, six Y-biallelic markers were screened in 326 Y-chromosomes from five Chinese populations: Manchu, Fujian Han, Kazak, Bouyei and Sichuan Han. The chi2-test was performed using the SAS package. ARLEQUIN and SPSS programs were used for pairwise Fst's and genetic clusters, respectively. The M9 (G) and RPS4Y (T) polymorphisms show greater variance in these five populations and are informative and sensible in Chinese population genetic research, while the other four are less polymorphic. Significant differences in the distribution of the six biallelic markers were found between the three southern groups and the two northern groups involved in the present study. The Kazak population demonstrated marked differences not only from the southern populations, but differed notably from the other northern population, the Manchu. This result clearly suggests that the original division of the investigated groups into north and south would not yield optimal results from which useful generalizations could be made. The results have proven to be extremely useful, their analysis not only brought to light important new facts on the population structures, but supplied also useful guidelines for further additional Chinese population genetic research projects.
