Abstract
In this study, 22 Y-specific STR loci (DYS19, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392,
DYS393, DYS385, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS461, DYS481, DYS504, DYS505, DYS508, DYS533,
DYS576, DYS588, DYS607, DYS634, and DYS643) were analyzed in 216 unrelated male individuals
from southeast China (Chaoshan area) by three multiplex PCR systems. The haplotype
diversity using the classical set of Y-STRs (DYS19, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392,
DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, and DYS385; PowerPlexY Systems) was 0.9908. For the
same population sample, the haplotype diversity using the new sets of 11 novel Y-STRs
(DYS461, DYS481, DYS504, DYS505, DYS508, DYS533, DYS576, DYS588, DYS607, DYS634, and
DYS643; multiplex I and II) was 0.9917. By combining the allelic states of the 22
Y-STR loci we could construct highly informative haplotypes that allowed the discrimination
of 99.1% (214 out of 216) of the samples tested and the overall haplotype diversity
of 0.9999. These results, including the haplotype data at 22 Y-STR loci in the present
study, provide useful information for forensic practice in the Chaoshan population
in southeast China.
