Tracing Jomon and Yayoi ancestries in Japan using ALDH2 and JC virus genotype distributions.

From these findings, it may be inferred that the ALDH2 mutation, which is related to the Yayoi, is related to CY genotype JCV. When the Yayoi migrated to the Japanese archipelago, they brought the ALDH2 mutation as well as the CY genotype JCV.
