Objective:
To investigate genetic polymorphisms of 10 short tandem repeats loci (D6S1043, D7S3048, D9S925, D10S2325, D11S2368, D14S608, D15S659, D17S1290, D20S470 and GATA198B05) in Tibetans from Lhasa, China.
Methods:
Following extraction, DNA from 208 unrelated Tibetan individuals was amplified with a self-designed multiplex PCR system. The amplified fragments were separated by electrophoresis on an ABI 3130 Genetic Analyzer and analyzed with GeneMapper®3.2 software.
Results:
The distributions of genotype for the 10 STR loci in the population were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The polymorphism information component for the 10 loci was 0.750-0.860, the degree of heterozygosity was 0.726-0.865, the discrimination power was 0.919-0.968, and the probability of exclusion was 0.470-0.725. The combined probability of exclusion and combined discrimination power was 0.9998 and 0.999 999 999 997, respectively.
Conclusion:
Above STR loci have high probability of exclusion and discrimination power, which can be used as candidate markers for population genetic research and forensic practice for Tibetans from Lhasa, China.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
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%...
