      Abstract

      Haplotype frequencies for 11 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) included in the PowerPlex® Y Systems (Promega) were determined in a sample of 204 unrelated healthy male individuals of Chinese Hui ethnic group living in Liaoning (northeast of China). A total of 187 haplotypes were identified, of which 174 were unique, 11 was found in two individuals, 1 were shared in three individuals and 1 was shared in five individuals. The observed haplotype diversity value and discrimination capacity were 0.9990 and 0.9167, respectively.
