    Journal: Chin Med Sci J; 2005 Dec; 20(4):237-41. PubMed ID: 16422250.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the allele genetic polymorphism of five short tandem repeat (STR) loci on X-chromosome in Ewenke population of north China and to provide basic data for forensic identification. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from EDTA-whole blood of Ewenke population by Chelex-100. The DNA samples were amplified by PCR and were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. The sequence length variations of DXS6799, DXS8378, DXS101, HPRTB, and DXS6789 loci on X-chromosome in 98 unrelated Ewenke individuals were investigated. RESULTS: All five loci analyzed showed high polymorphism and genetic stability. The data of the five X-chromosome STR loci in Ewenke ethnic group of China was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium by Chi-square test. CONCLUSION: Allele polymorphism of five X-chromosome STR loci can be used as a genetic marker for forensic identification and population genetic research.
