Abstract：
:Mitochondrial DNA analysis is very useful for the interpretation of the history of human migration and to estimate the frequency of a haplotype in the forensic context. From a human settlement perspective, La Paz area is greatly interesting since the first planned city of the region is located there. Samples from 110 individuals from La Paz were studied analysing the polymorphisms in the D-loop, hypervariable region I (HVI) and hypervariable region II (HVII) in order to verify the genetic diversity. The aim of this study was to start the creation of a population database in order to obtain the genetic interpopulation variability and classify haplotypes into characteristic haplogroups of South America. A total of 97 different haplotypes were identified, 90 being unique, expressed by 122 polymorphic nucleotide positions. Nucleotide and sequence diversity were estimated to be 0.015 +/- 0.0075 and 0.996, respectively. Haplogroup distribution in the samples was 57.27% B4, 19.09% C1, 10.00% A2, 3.64% D1, 2.73% D4h3, 1.82% H, and 0.91% for each of the haplogroups A4, B4c1a, CZ, D4J, M7a and M8/N9b. The rate of length heteroplasmy was 36.36% in HVI and 52.73% in HVII. Phylogenetic analysis reveals proximity to the Korean, Chilean aboriginal, Japanese and Australian populations. The estimated genetic variability of the studied population was high, suggesting an early settlement.
