Abstract:
Allele frequencies for the nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D3S1358, FGA, TH01, D7S820, VWA, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, TPOX) were determined in a sample of 120 unrelated individuals of the Baoan ethnic group living in northwest China. The values of observed heterozygosity (H), discrimination power (DP), a priori chance of exclusion (CE) and polymorphism information content (PIC) were calculated. All loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P=0.05). The obtained frequency distributions were compared with other previously reported population data.
