Sequencing results of the mitochondrial DNA control region for 100 Mongolians are presented. Sequences of 340 nucleotides for hypervanable region I were analysed. 61 polymorphic sites and 51 different haplotypes were determined. Genetic substructuring was lower comparing to the results of other studies for Asian populations. It could be useful to determine sequence polymorphisms for Mongolian ethnic minority groups in order to describe their demographic history and ethnogenesis.
