We compared the genetic distances between the Far-Eastern populations to investigate the relationship between them. Sampled regions were nine countries. The method was microcytotoxicity of NIH by use of antisera received from 3rd AOHWS. We used the results of HLA frequency published from 3rd AOHWS. The genetic distances are calculated by Nei et all equation. The following are the results. 1) The nearest GD with Southern Korean is Japanese. Historically, this was reflected of close relationship between Korean and Japanese. 2) There were near GD between North Chinese neigh-boring populations. This thought that North Chinese had a close contact with neighboring countries. 3) However, this should be confirmed again after subdivision of regions, and also be required of many investigations to cover the defect of this study.
