Abstract
Populations in Southern China (Bai-yue) and Borneo (Bidayuh) with high incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) share similar mitochondrial DNA signatures,supporting the hypothesis that these two populations may share the same genetic predisposition for NPC,which may have first appeared in a common ancestral reference population before the sea levels rose after the last ice age.
