| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic polymorphism of 20 short tandem repeat (STR) loci including D1S1656, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D6S1043, D7S820, D8S1179, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, TH01, TPOX, and vWA in Han population of Henan, China and to assess its value in forensic science. Genomic DNA was extracted from 274 blood samples of unrelated healthy individuals in the Henan Han population. Alleles were amplified with PowerPlex® 21 system kit and PCR products were detected with ABI3130 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems) and the data were analyzed with modified PowerStats v1.2. A total of 229 alleles were observed in this Han population and the allelic frequencies ranged from 0.0020 to 0.5090 in the present study. Observed genotype distributions for each locus do not show deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium expectations (p < 0.05). The combined power of discrimination, combined power of exclusion, and combined matching probability of this 20 STR loci were 0.999999999, 0.999999994603, and 4.0433 × 10?24, respectively. The 20 STR loci are highly polymorphic in the Han population of Henan, China and they may be of great value in forensic science and human population genetics. |
