Genetic polymorphisms of Penta D and E loci in Korean racial Chinese of Yanbian area in China / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze genetic polymorphisms of Penta D and E loci in Korean racial Chinese of Yanbian area.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred unrelated individuals of Korean racial Chinese were analyzed by methods of PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eight alleles and 22 genotypes were observed from Penata D locus, and 16 alleles and 35 genotypes were observed from Penta E locus.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The distribution of two locus genotypes in Korean racial Chinese of Yanbian area met Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. And the obtained data can be used to individual identity, paternity testing and the study of Korean ethnic group of Chinese population.</p>
