16 X-chromosome STR loci frequency data from a German population

Allele frequencies for 16 X-linked STRs, suitable for forensic purposes, were obtained from a sample of unrelated German individuals (male and female). The presented data show also repeat sequence structures and statistic parameters describing there information content.     

Validation of nine non-CODIS STR loci for forensic use in a population from Central Poland

The D7S1517, D3S1744, D12S391, D2S1360, D6S474, D8S1132, D5S2500, D10S2325 and D4S236613 are STR loci potentially useful for forensic purposes whose analysis has recently become facilitated by availability of a commercial kit. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of these loci for forensic identification in a population of Central Poland. The distribution of alleles of the nine STRs was determined in sample of 353 unrelated individuals born in Central Poland and indices of forensic informativeness were calculated. The studied loci were highly informative and did not show departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For the loci located on the same chromosomes (D2S1360, D3S1744 D4S2366, D5S2500, D7S1517, D8S1132, D12S391) as other loci commonly used for identification purposes (TPOX, D2S1338, D3S1358, FGA, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179 and D12S391) appropriate pairwise analysis of linkage disequilibrium was performed. In all cases no statistically significant deviation from independence was found. We conclude that the studied STRs are informative and, when necessary, can be used to extend the results obtained with other STRs commonly analyzed for identification purposes, in particular the CODIS set.     

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.     

Genetic data on 10 STR loci a population of western Poland

Allele frequencies for 10 STRs included in the AmpFlSTR SGM Plus kit were determined in a population sample of 668 unrelated individuals living in western Poland. All loci met Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Exact tests disequilibrium analysis revealed two departures from independence out of 45 pairwise comparisons. The combined matching probability (MP) and power of exclusion (PE) for all 15 loci are 2.56 x 10(-13) and 0.99996, respectively.     

Allele frequencies for 10 STR loci in a population from central Poland

Allele frequencies of 10 STR loci included in the AmpFlSTR SGM Plus Kit (PE Applied Biosystem) was obtained a simple of 222 unrelated individuals residing in Warsaw (Poland) region.     

STR data for the PowerPlex 16 loci for the Chinese population in Hong Kong

Allele frequencies for the 15 STR loci included in the PowerPlex 16 kit were obtained from a sample of 247 unrelated Chinese in Hong Kong.     

STR data for SGM Plus and penta E and D loci in a population sample from south Poland

Frequency data of short tandem repeats loci included in the SGM Plus kit and on two pentanucleotide STR loci: Penta E and Penta D [Profiles DNA 2 (1998) 2] included in the PowerPlex16 kit were collected from a sample of 400 (for SGM Plus) and 91 (for Penta E and Penta D) random, unrelated individuals born in the South Poland region.     

13 STR loci frequency data from a Scottish population

A total of 13 STR loci were typed from over 200 Caucasians from the Strathclyde region in the west of Scotland.     

STR population data for 10 STR loci including the GenePrint PowerPlex 1.2 kit from El-Minia (Central Egypt)

Allele frequencies for 10 STRs including the GenePrint PowerPlex 1.2 loci and also D3S1358, HumvWA and HumFGA were obtained from a sample of unrelated individuals from El-Minia City.     

STR data for AmpF/STR Profiler Plus loci in south Poland.

Frequency data of short tandem repeats (STR) loci included in the AmpF/STR Profiler Plus kit were collected from a sample of 253 random, unrelated individuals born in the south Poland region. All loci met Hardy-Weinberg expectation.     

Genetic data on 19 STR loci in south-east Poland

Allele frequencies for the 19 STRs loci, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, CSF1PO, F13A01, F13B, FESFPS, FGA, LPL, Penta D, Penta E, TH01, TPOX and VWA were obtained from a sample of 203-1188 unrelated individuals living in the area of south-east Poland.     

16 STR data of a Greek population

Allele frequencies for 16 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, and SE33) were calculated for a sample of 300 unrelated individuals from Greece. No deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were observed for all loci. The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined power of exclusion (PE) for the 16 tested STR loci were 0.999999999 and 0.999999816, respectively. Population comparisons were carried out and low genetic distances were found between our data and those previously published for other neighbouring European populations.     

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