      Abstract

      Fifteen autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci were genotyped using the AmpFISTR Identifiler PCR Amplification kit from 505 unrelated healthy individuals of Miao ethnic minority living in the Guizhou Province, Southwest China. Also, the genetic distance between Miao and nine related populations was compared.
