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

Genetic data for the 13 CODIS STR loci in Singapore Chinese

“…In comparison, inbred populations such as Apache and Navajo have lower genetic diversity with heterozygosity values between 0.494 and 0.85 (average of 0.71), and 0.43-0.877 (average of 0.704), respectively [9]. In addition, the allele distributions were found to be in good agreement to the reported data for similar ethnic groups in United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Western Australia and China [9,[11][12][13][14][15]. The loci FGA and D18S51 were found to be the most polymorphic markers, while the TPOX locus had the lowest power of discrimination.…”

Allele frequencies for nine STR loci in a Korean ethnic group from northeast China

“…Other remarks: No significant deviation from HardyWeinberg expectations ( p > 0.05) and no significant differences were observed in the comparison with same area (Yan Bian) and other areas China Han (except vWA for middle China Han) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Also we compared to with South Korean, Japanese, American Caucasian and American African for the allele distribution, and found great differences in FGA and D21S11 for Korean, D3S1358 and vWA for Japanese, D21S11, D18S51, D8S1179, FGA and vWA for American Caucasian and American African [16][17][18].…”

Population data for the Identifier™ 15 STR loci in Hong Kong Chinese

“…For pair-wise linkage equilibrium analysis, the exact test detected four departures from independence out of 105 comparisons namely, CSF1PO and FGA, D13S317 and TPOX, D2S1338 and FGA, and D19S433 and FGA, whose empirical significance levels are 0.024, 0.050, 0.038 and 0.003, respectively. Allele frequencies on the same population have previously been obtained based on the AmpFlSTR 1 Profiler and Profiler Plus systems [5], and the PowerPlex TM 16 system [6]. None of the loci is found to have significantly different allelic frequencies generated by these typing systems.…”

“…The observed heterozygosity (OH), the power of discrimination (PD), the probability of excluding a random man from paternity (PE), the probability of excluding a brother of the true father from paternity (PEB), and the P-value (P 1 ) of the exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the P-value (P 2 ) of the x 2 -test for the equality of allelic frequencies for each locus between the current database and the previous database [6] are given.…”
