Abstract
Population genetic data and forensic statistics of 22 autosomal short tandem repeat
(STR) loci (D1S1656, D2S1338, D3S3045, D4S2366, D5S2500, D6S477, D7S3048, D8S1132,
D9S925, D10S1435, D11S2368, D12S391, D13S325, D14S608, D15S659, D16S539, D17S1290,
D18S535, D19S253, D20S470, D21S1270 and GATA198B05) were determined for a sample of
515 unrelated individuals from Han population in Southern China. The expected heterozygosity
and the discrimination power varied from 0.7358 to 0.8733 and 0.8915 to 0.9702, respectively.
The probability of excluding an unrelated man as the true father (assuming no background
relatedness in the population) for trios and for duos ranged from 0.5126 to 0.7415
and 0.3331 to 0.5864, respectively. The studied STRs appear to provide a significant
improvement in the statistical power of kinship analysis.
