Ancestry Informative Marker Set for Han Chinese Population [PDF]
Abstract The population of Han Chinese is ∼1.226 billion people. Genetic heterogeneity between northern Han Chinese (N-Han) and southern Han Chinese (S-Han) has been demonstrated by recent genome-wide studies. As an initial step toward health disparities and personalized medicine in Chinese population, this study developed a set of ...

RHC genotyping in Chinese Han population
Abstract The Rh blood group is a complex, polymorphic system with 56 antigens. Accurately predicting the presence of the C antigen using genotyping methods has been challenging. This study aimed to evaluate different genotyping methods for C predicting and identifying associated genetic variations in the Chinese Han population.
