Abstract:

Objective To obtain the data of the gene frequency on genetic characteristics of direction of eyeslits in Liaoning Xibe people. Methods We used the method from “Measurement Method of Human Body” and “Anthropometric Handbook” written by Rukang Wu and Xiangqing Shao. We investigated the genetic characteristics of direction of eyeslits on 216 students (15-18 years old) who lived in Hutai Middle School, New District of Xinchengzi, Shenyang, Liaoning. We got the data of the gene frequency between the two sexes. Results According to the genetic characteristics of direction of eyeslits, the horizontal position was dominant compared with the oblique position. The dominant gene frequency of direction of eyeslits was 0.3368 in Liaoning Xibo people. The dominant gene frequency was 0.4600 in males, and 0.2528 in females. The recessive gene frequency of direction of eyeslits was 0.6632 in Liaoning Xibo people. The recessive gene frequency of dominant was 0.5400 in males, and 0.7472 in females. Conclusion There are significant differences in gene frequency distribution（P<0.01）between the male and female in horizontal and oblique position in Liaoning Xibo people. Additionally, in direction of eyeslits the frequency of dominant gene is higher than other nationality with Liaoning Xibo people in China.
