Genetic polymorphism of 15 STR loci in Chinese Han population from Shanghai municipality in East China.

The aim of this study was to estimate the allelic frequencies of the fifteen STRs included in AmpFlSTR(®) Identifiler(®) PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems, USA) in a sample of 186 unrelated individuals resident in Shanghai. Allelic frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated. All loci showed no departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The obtained frequencies were compared with other previously reported population data.
