Abstract:
Population data of 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were determined from 500 unrelated Latvian individuals. The samples were amplified using the AmpFlSTR® NGM™ PCR Amplification Kit and the PowerPlex® ESX 16 System. No significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was detected, except for locus D3S1358. Calculated forensically relevant population statistics show that the investigated loci are very discriminating in the Latvian population, with a combined discrimination power of 0.9999999999999999998. A comparison with previously published allele frequency data from other populations is presented.
