In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial DNA sequences taken from 120 males belonging Hmong-Mien (HM) language family in Vietnam: Dao, Hmong, and Pathen, revealing 352 unique variants. Dao has the most number of polymorphisms (230 unique SNPs occurring 1469 times), followed by Hmong (181 unique SNPs occurring 1367 times) and Pathen (159 SNPs occurring 1243 times). Genetic variations within each population and among Hmong-Mien speakers were further measured by computations of haplotype diversity (H), nucleotide diversity (π) and fixation index (FST).
