Genetic Studies on Tongue Movement Types of Miao Nationality in Western Hunan

Abstract

Abstract:

The tongue movement types including rolling,folding,twisting,pointed and clover-leaf tongues of 555middle school students(254 males,301females)of Miao nationality in western Hunan were investigated.The results showed that 1) the frequencies of rolling,folding,twisting,pointed and clover-leaf tongues were 69.01%,17.30%,19.64%,36.40%,40.36%,respectively;2) no significant sexual difference was found in the frequencies of five tongue moving types（P＞0.05）;3) there were little correlations among ten combination traits,with only two pairs being related;4) some interactions occurred between twisting tongue gene and folding,pointed tongue gene respectively.

Key words: rolling tongue, folding tongue, twisting tongue, pointed tongue, clover-leaf tongue, Miao nationality
