Human being as the most perfect

creature and the representative of

God on earth is responsible to look

after the universe including

his/herself and other creations of God

The world should be a

confortable place for living

ASEAN POPULATION

The Austronesian-speaking people

are various populations in Southeast Asia and

Oceania that speak languages of the

Austronesian family.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austronesian_peoples

Distribution of Austronesian language

They include :

Taiwanese aborigines

The majority ethnic groups of East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Madagascar, Micronesia, and Polynesia, as well as

The Polynesian peoples of New Zealand and Hawaii

The non-Papuan people of Melanesia.

Those found in Singapore, Pattani region of Thailand and the Cham areas of Vietnam (remnants of the Champa kingdom which covered central and southern Vietnam), Cambodja, and Hainan, China.

Genetic variation

Some Genetic

markers are

commonly found in

Austronesian

speaking

populations

Recent study in Malaysia reported that:

The Melayu Jawa, Melayu Bugis and Melayu

Minang have a very close genetic relationship

with Indonesian populations indicating a

common ancestral history, while the Melayu

Kelantan formed a distinct group on the tree

indicating that they are genetically different

from the other Malay sub-ethnic groups (Hatin

WI, Nur-Shafawati AR, Zahri M-K, Xu S, Jin L,

et al. (2011) Population Genetic Structure of

Peninsular Malaysia Malay Sub-Ethnic Groups. PLoS ONE 6(4): e18312. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0018312

Blood genetic disorders

There are three blood genetic disorders

commonly found in the region:

G6PD deficiency

Ovalocytosis

Thalassemia and/or globin gene

mutants

G6PD deficiency mutations

G6PD Kaiping (1388G>A)

G6PD Chatham (1003G>A)

G6PD Coimbra (592C>T)

G6PD Vanua Lava (383T>C)

G6PD Viangchan (871G>A)

G6PD Canton (1376G>T)

G6PD Union

G6PD Mediteran

Etc.

Ovalocytosis

The so-called Southeast Asia Ovalocytosis (SAO) is commonly found in populations of Southeast Asia

The SAO is similar due to deletion of 27 bp (9 amino acids) from codon 400-408 band-3 protein of the red cell membrane

Distribution of G6PD Deficiency and Ovalocytosis in Indonesia

Thalassemia

Mostly beta-thalassemia

Various mutants have been reported in

Southeast Asia, due to point mutation or

deletion of beta-globin gene in the short

arm of chromosome -11.

Majority of mutants are located in exon 1

[Cd 26/HbE (GAG>AAG)] , intron 1

[IVS1-nt5 (G>C)] and exon 2 [Cd35 (-C)]

Concluding remarks

People inhabiting the present day

Southeast Asia region are genetically

related as the descendant of Austronesian

speaking people.

Some other extended groups of people

living in Madagascar and the Pacific region

can also be included in Austronesian

speaking people.

Besides neutral genetic markers found in

various Southeast Asian people, three blood

genetic disorders are commonly found in the

region.

These genetic disorders need lifelong

attention by the family of patients. Significant

budget should be allocated by the

goverment to provide health services, and

family of patients to consult, treat and

maintain better health condition of patient(s).

Having realized and acknowledged that

some serious genetic disorders are

common among genetically related

populations with common ancestry,

Southeast Asian solidarity should be grown

and nurtured to facilitate the establishment

of peaceful, warm and wealthy

neighbourhood of Southeast Asia region

and former region of Austronesian

speaking people in general.
