Population data for 11 STR loci in northeast China Han

Allele frequencies for the nine tetrameric short tandem repeats (STR) loci D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, and D7S820 (AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus PCR amplification kit, PE Applied Biosystems) and two pentameric STR loci Penta D and Penta E (PowerPlex 16 system, Promega Corporation) were determined in a population sample of unrelated China Han.     

Patterns of genetic polymorphism at the 10 X-chromosome STR loci in Mongol population

Genetic diversity at 10 X-chromosome STR loci has been approved and widely used for forensic science field. In this paper, we have studied this genetic diversity in various Mongol ethnic group with geographic backgrounds. Allele frequencies of 10 X-chromosome STR loci, including DXS7133, DXS6799, DXS8378, DXS7423, DXS6804, HPRTB, DXS7424, DXS7132, DXS6789 and DXS101, were obtained from healthy unrelated individuals (53 females and 47 males) of Mongol ethnic group lived in north China. Gene diversity analysis showed that the average heterozygosity was uniformly high (0.687) in the studied population. The coefficient of PIC was 0.99998.     

Population data for 8 X-chromosome STR loci in a population sample from Northern Italy and from the Sardinia island

To establish a database for DXS8378, HPRTB, DXS7423, DXS7132, DXS10134, DXS10074, DXS10101, DXS10135 loci in an Italian population sample from Brescia (Northern Italy) and from the Sardinia island, 131 unrelated individuals were typed. DNA was amplified in a multiplex reaction with subsequent automatic detection using capillary electrophoresis. The obtained data give a contribution to the definition of Italian population STR allele frequencies for the eight analysed loci.     

Population studies on two native Mongolian population groups in China using STR loci

The allelic distribution of nine short tandem repeats (STRs) loci (vWA, FGA, PentaE, D3S1358, D13S317, D5S818, D6S1043, D2S1772 and D7S3048) was examined in 286 Ximeng-Mongolian and 293 Wumeng-Mongolian unrelated individuals living in the Inner Mongolia province, PR China.     

Population data of nine Y-chromosomal STR loci in northern Poland

Allele and haplotype frequencies of nine Y-chromosome STR loci were determined from a sample of 508 unrelated males from north Poland. Three samples containing insertion polymorphism DYS19 (duplication) and DYS385I/II (triplications) were observed.     

Population genetic data for 18 STR loci in Costa Rica

Allele frequencies for 18 STR autosomal loci (D3S1358, VWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, Penta D, Penta E, D19S433, D2S1338 and SE33) were obtained from a sample of 191-500 unrelated individuals from Costa Rica, Central America.     

Population data for six X-chromosome STR loci in a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) sample: Usefulness in forensic casework

This study presents data for the X-chromosome STR loci DXS7133, DXS7424, DXS8378, DXS6807, DXS7423 and DXS8377. In order to establish a database, unrelated individuals (males and females) from Rio de Janeiro were typed for the above loci. No significant differences were observed between allele frequencies in male and female samples (non-differentiation exact P values ≥ 0.156). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested in the female sample and no significant deviations were found. All six markers have shown to be highly polymorphic in our sample with gene diversities varying between 0.6797 for DXS7133, and 0.9260 for DXS8377. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium analysis did not allow discharging a possible association between DXS7133 and DXS7424 alleles in Rio de Janeiro population. Parameters of forensic interest, like PD_M, PD_F, Het_obs, Het_exp, were calculated for each locus. The high discrimination power estimated in both males and females, as well as mean exclusion chance in father/daughter duos and in father/mother/daughter trios, demonstrates the usefulness of these six markers in forensic investigation.     

Population genetics of nine STR loci in two populations from Brazil

The Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) D3S1358, HUMvWA31/A, HUMFIBRA/FGA, D8S 1179, D2S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, and D7S820 were studied in two Brazilian populations (from Amazonia and S. Paulo) using the "AmpF1 STR Profiler Plus PCR Amplification Kit." The nine loci showed a combined discrimination power greater than 0.9999999999 and a chance of exclusion of 0.9999.     

Population genetics of 10 STR loci in a population of Central Poland

Allele frequencies for the 10 short tandem repeats (STRs) included in AmpFlSTR SGM Plus amplification kit (D3S1358, vWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01, FGA) were estimated from a sample of 500 unrelated individuals born in Central Poland.     

Population data of 10 X-chromosomal loci in Latvia

Ten X-chromosomal STRs from two multiplex PCR approaches (DXS9898, DXS6807, HPRTB, DXS101, and androgen receptor (ARA); DXS7133, DXS10011, DXS7424, DXS8377, and DXS8378) have been typed in a Latvian population sample.
