In an effort to investigate the subtelomeric region of the X chromosome among Orientals, five DNA sites in the F8C and G6PD genes were analyzed in a sample of 46 chromosomes belonging to the Chinese Li population, an ethnic group characterized by a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency. The DNA sites analyzed, which are highly polymorphic in other populations, have a low degree of heterozygosity in the Li sample...
