Abstract Allele frequencies for nine STR loci included in the AmpF[STR Profiler Kit (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820), were obtained from a sample of 1206 unrelated individuals living in the central region of Korea. q 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

1. Population DNA samples were obtained from 1206 unrelated, randomly selected individuals from criminal cases in the central region of Korea.
2. DNA Extraction Genomic DNA was isolated by the standard method of Phenol–chloroform procedure. The extracted DNA was quantified fluorimetrically or using the QuantiBlot kit (PE, Foster City, Calif.) with chemilumiescence detection.
The PCR products were injected for 5 s, and electrophoresis was performed at 15 kV using Performance Optimized Polymer (POPe4, Applied Biosystems) at 60 8C in a 47 cm capillary. GeneScan collection and analysis software packages were utilized for data collection and size estimation of the fluorescent labeled DNA fragments. Genotyper software (version 3.7) was used for automated genotyping of the samples.
4. Results See Table 1.
5. Analysis of data 3. PCR and typing Approximately 1–2 ng target DNA was amplified with the AmpF[STR Profiler Amplification kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Amplified products of PCR were subjected to capillary electrophoresis on an ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA).
Statistical analysis was performed using the Genetic Data Analysis Software, version 1.0 d16c (http://lewis.eeb. uconn.edu/lewishome/gda.html) [1]. Results were considered to be significant at P! 0.05. Power of discrimination was calculated following Fisher’s method [2].

deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (PO0.05). For forensic testing, the power of discrimination (PD) index ranged from 0.7973 at TPOX to 0.9639 at FGA and the combined power of discrimination of the nineplex was 0.999999999399. The combination of these nine STR systems is a powerful tool for forensic identification and paternity resting. By comparison of the allele frequencies with other Korean population studies, no significant differences were found. But at the CSF1PO locus, one 12.3 allele and at the D7S820 locus, two 8.1 allele, two 9.1 allele, three 10.1 allele and one 11.1 allele were observed that have not yet been
reported in other Korean population studies [3–7]. In other Asian populations, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 10.1, 10.3 alleles have been detected [8,9]. Recent developments in fluorescent dyes and capillary electrophoresis technology made it possible to determine the size of STR alleles accurately [10,11]. For accurate analysis, we performed re-extraction and reamplification procedure on nine samples additionally. Most of the commercially available PCR kits for STR typing contain allelic ladders. However, the high sequence variability of STR loci can occur but may not be detected easily. So determination and identification of allele may be

more difficult especially when the possibility of variants is not considered.
