[Polymorphism analysis of D19S253 locus in Guangzhou area population]

Frequency data for STR system D19S253 were obtained from 105 unrelated individuals of Guangzhong population. PCR products were detected by horizontal native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a total of 9 alleles were identified by side-by-side comparison with a sequenced allelic ladder prepared by ourselves. The observed genotype distribution conformed with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The high information content found in this system(heterozygosity rate was 0.8353, the mean exclusion chance was 0.7499, the discrimination power was 0.9211, the polymorphism information content was 0.8203) indicated it is a useful means in forensic routine casework both in criminal and paternity cases.
