  • Title: Genetic analysis of 20 autosomal STR loci in the Miao ethnic group from Yunnan Province, Southwest China.
    Author: Zhang X, Hu L, Du L, Nie A, Rao M, Pang JB, Xiran Z, Nie S.
    Journal: Forensic Sci Int Genet; 2017 May; 28():e28-e29. PubMed ID: 28196612.
    Abstract:
    The genetic polymorphisms of 20 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci included in the PowerPlex® 21 kit were evaluated from 748 unrelated healthy individuals of the Miao ethnic minority living in the Yunnan province in southwestern China. All of the loci reached Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These loci were examined to determine allele frequencies and forensic statistical parameters. The genetic relationship between the Miao population and other Chinese populations were also estimated. The combined discrimination power and probability of excluding paternity of the 20 STR loci were 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 991 26 and 0.999 999 975, respectively. The results suggested that the 20 STR loci were highly polymorphic, which makes them suitable for forensic personal identification and paternity testing.
