Allele frequencies of sixteen STRs in the population of Northern Portugal

Allele frequencies of sixteen autossomal short tandem repeats (STRs), D3S1358, VWA, D16S539, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, TH01, FGA, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, TPOX, CSF1PO, Penta D, Penta E (included in the PowerPlex 16 kit), and the SE33 (PowerPlex ES Monoplex System SE33) were determined in a sample of 200 healthy unrelated individuals from the north of Portugal.     

Swiss allele frequencies and haplotypes of 7 Y-specific STRs

In view of application to personal identification and paternal analysis, the allele distribution of the loci DYS 19, DYS389 I and II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393 were determined in a sample of 126 unrelated males from the area of Bern (Switzerland). The 7 Y-STR loci were coamplified in a total of two multiplex reactions using fluorescently-labeled primers. PCR products were separated and detected on a capillary electrophoresis ABI Prism 310 instrument. All loci were polymorphic and the allele distributions are similar to other caucasian data.     

Allele frequencies of 15 STRs in the Calchaqui Valleys population (North-Western Argentina)

Allele frequencies for 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were obtained from a sample of 110 individuals from the Calchaqui Valleys population (North-Western Argentina). The combined power of exclusion and combined power of discriminating for the 15 tested STR loci were 0.999964 and 0.9999999999999998, respectively. Matching probability was 1 in 4.58 × 10(15). Therefore, it may be concluded that the set of 15 STRs included in the AmpF STR Identifiler kit, represents a powerful tool for forensic applications, paternity testing and population genetics studies in the Calchaqui Valleys population.     

Allele frequencies and haplotypes of 8 Y-chromosomal STRs in the Santa Catarina population of southern Brazil

Allele frequencies and haplotypes of eight Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), DYS19, DYS385, DYS389 I, DYS389 II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392 and DYS393 were determined in a sample of 109 males from Santa Catarina. The origin of this southern Brazilian population is mainly from Portuguese people, namely from Azores archipelago.     

Allele frequencies and haplotypes of six new Y-specific STR loci in Koreans

Six Y-specific STR loci, DYS434, DYS435, DYS436, DYS437, DYS438, and DYS439 were analyzed in 300 unrelated Korean males using single multiplex PCR system.     

珠海地区汉族人群10个Y-STR基因座的多态性

目的 调查珠海地区汉族人群10个Y-STR基因座及其单倍型的遗传多态性，探讨其法医学应用价值。方法 应用Y-PLEX荧光标记复合扩增系统，对珠海地区汉族200名无关男性个体进行10个Y-STR基因座的复合扩增，用ABI310型基因分析仪对扩增产物进行检测，统计10个Y-STR基因座的群体遗传学参数。结果 9个Y-STR基因座分别检出5、6、6、5、4、5、5、5、7个等位基因，DYS385基因座检出44种单倍型；GD值最低为0.3904(DYS391)，最高为0.9497(DYS385)；10个Y-STR基因座共同构成的单倍型161种，其中134种单倍型只出现1次，20种单倍型出现2次，3种单倍型出现3次，3种单倍型出现4次，1种单倍型出现5次，累计GD值为0.9948。结论 10个Y-STR基因座具有较高的个体识别能力，可应用于法庭科学中的个体识别与亲权鉴定。     

Four X-chromosomal STRs and their allele frequencies in a Chinese population

X-chromosomal markers are particularly useful for solving complex problems relating to kinship and deficiency paternity analysis. In the present study, population genetics data of four X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) DXS8378, HPRTB, DXS7423 and DXS7132 were obtained by analyzing 500 unrelated Chinese individuals (250 males and 250 females). Population genetics data obtained from the Chinese were compared with those of the Asian and European population. Mutations in X-chromosomal markers were analyzed based on a total of 61 proven father-child and 45 proven mother-child pairs.
