Abstract
The polymorphism of 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci—D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO,
D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA
from AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® PCR amplification kit were analysed in 929 unrelated individuals living in the north,
northeast, central and south of Thailand. The comparison between these four subpopulations
demonstrated that subpopulations in the north and northeast were different in two
loci from all paired groups while those in the north, central and south were closely
related. The inter-population comparisons between combined Thai population and other
ethnic groups including Eastern Chinese, Japanese, Iraq and Egyptian revealed that
Eastern Chinese and Thai were closely related.
