Abstract The genetic variations for 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA were performed on 231 unrelated Korean population using commercially available AmpF/STR Identifiler kit. # 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Population: Two hundred thirty-one unrelated individuals living in Korea. Extraction: Genomic DNA was extracted using the High Pure PCR Template Preparation Kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). PCR: Multiplex PCR using 1–2 ng target DNA was performed with the AmpF/STR Identifiler PCR Amplification kit (PE Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typing: ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer (PE Applied Biosystems). Results: See Table 1. Quality control: Kit controls. Analysis of data: The allele frequencies and statistical analysis were performed on PowerStats program (http:// www.promega.com/geneticidtools/Default.htm) and P value of exact test for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and expected heterozygosity were calculated by TFPGA (http://bioweb. usu.edu/mpmbio/index.htm) program. Other remarks: The combined PD and PE for the 15 STR loci in a Korean population were 2:85 1017 and * Corresponding author. Tel.: þ82-2-3779-1001; fax: þ82-2-785-1340. E-mail address:

0.9999968, respectively. When we compared the data with the value from other populations supplied by PE Applied Biosystems (Table 2). It showed that this AmpF/STR multiplex system in Korean has lower forensic capacity than Caucasian and African. However, it has similar forensic capacity with Native American. Even though the TPOX locus showed significant deviation (P < 0:05) with lower PD, PIC and PE in a Korean population, 14 of 15 STR loci except TPOX exhibited no significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. In recent years, the genetic data for STR loci in a Korean population have been reported but they had a limited number of STR loci [1–5]. This is the first study of allele frequency distribution of D19S433 and D2S1338 in a Korean population. More STR loci will be needed to successfully identify individuals in various situations such as forensic identification, paternity testing, and engraftment assessment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In conclusion, we could obtain the potentially useful data using AmpF/STR Identifiler kit for individual identification in a Korean population and establish that the use of AmpF/STR Identifiler PCR Amplification system offers a highly polymorphic tool for genetic variation analysis. This paper follows the guidelines for publication of population data requested by [6].
