Mapuche, the Pehuenche, and the Yaghan, were studied both by RFLP analysis and D‐loop
(control region) sequencing. RFLP analysis showed that 3 individuals (1.3%) belonged to
haplogroup A, 19 (8%) to haplogroup B, 102 (43%) to haplogroup C, and 113 (47.7%) to
haplogroup D. Among the 73 individuals analyzed by D‐loop sequencing, we observed 37
different haplotypes defined by 52 polymorphic sites. Joint analysis of data obtained by …
