Objective:
To investigate the polymorphism of 17 short tandem repeat (STR) loci of Tibetan minority ethnic group from Lhasa.
Methods:
Blood samples were obtained from 132 unrelated Tibetan individuals from Lhasa. DNA templates were screened by home-made AGCU17+1 kit and 3130XL genetic analyzer. Genotyping was performed using GeneMapper software (version 3.2).
Results:
The allele frequencies of 17 STR loci ranged 0.0038-0.5720, and the power of discrimination ranged 0.779-0.979, the power of exclusion ranged 0.327-0.737, the polymorphism information contents ranged 0.538-0.910, and the heterozygosity ranged 0.629-0.871. The cumulative coupling probability was 3.93 × 10(-20), and the cumulative power of exclusion was 0.9999995234. Of 17 STR loci, Penta E and D6S1043 had the highest polymorphism indicators, while TPOX had the lowest.
Conclusion:
The 17 STR loci used in this study are highly polymorphism in Tibetan minority ethnic group from Lhasa and fit for the population genetic study and forensic cases.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
