ALLELE DISTRIBUTION OF D12S304, D12S313, D12S1583, D12S1640 AND D12S1708 IN CHINESE HAN POPULATION

摘要

Objective To analyze the genetic polymorphism of 5 STR loci (D12S304, D12S313, D12S1583, D12S1640 and D12S1708) on chromosome 12 in Chinese Han population. Methods EDTA-anticoagulated blood specimens were collected from unrelated individuals of Chinese Han population in Shaanxi province. DNA samples were extracted with the Wizard Genomic DNA purification Kit and were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The PCR products were analyzed by ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzer. Results All 5 loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Allele and genotype frequencies, heterozygosity, power of discrimination, polymorphism information content, probability of paternity exclusion and matching probability of each locus were calculated in Excel 2002. Conclusion They are complex loci with lots of evenly distributed alleles and high heterozygosity in Chinese Han population. Thus they are informative polymorphic loci and valuable DNA marker which represents a superior alternative to many established STRs.
