Further characterization of six miniSTR loci in the Han population from China / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To describe the characteristics of two miniplex sets NC01 (D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045), which was recommended by EDNAP/ENFSI, and a new miniplex one (D2S2944, D18S872 and D19S591). Methods DNA was extracted using the Chelex-100 extraction method. The products were genotyped by ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer and the results were analyzed with GeneScan 3.7 and GenoTyper 3.7 software. Results All loci meet Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The combined power of discrimination for the six loci in Chinese population was 0.9999 and the cumulative probability of exclusion was 0.9793. We also compared the sequencing data of NC01 with other different ethic groups. Conclusion Two miniplex sets were constructed. These miniSTR makers have different characteristics in different ethic groups.
