Analysis of STR polymorphisms in the northeast Chinese population Xiuling Wang*, Toshiko Sawaguchi, Akiko Sawaguchi Department of Legal Medicine, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, 8-1 Kawada-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Received 18 November 2002; received in revised form 13 December 2002; accepted 18 December 2002
Abstract The distribution of allele frequencies for 12 short tandem repeats (STR) loci were determined in 300 unrelated healthy Chinese individuals living in northeast of China, using AmpF‘STR Profiler Plus kit and AmpF‘STR Green I kit (PE, Applied Biosystems). In these samples, 123 alleles and 399 genotypes were observed for 12 STR loci. The distribution of these observed genotypes were not significantly different from the expected distribution according to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. # 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Population: The DNA samples were obtained from 300 unrelated healthy Chinese individuals living in northeast of China. Extraction: The DNA was extracted from whole blood using John’s method [1]. The DNA concentration was determined by a spectrophotometer. PCR: A 2 ng target DNA following manufacturer’s instructions (AmpF‘STR Profiler Plus PCR amplification kit and AmpF‘STR Green I PCR amplification kit, PE Applied Biosystems). TM
Typing: ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer and reference sequenced ladders (PE Applied Biosystems). Results: See Table 1. Quality control: Laboratory internal control standards and kit controls.
Analysis of data: Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was assessed by means of Chi-square test [2]. DP was calculated from the frequency of each distinct phenotype and the number of distinct phenotypes for each locus [3]. Ho (observed heterozygosity), He (expected heterozygosity), PIC and CE were calculated from the frequency of each distinct allele and the number of distinct alleles for each locus [4–6]. Access to the data:
[email protected]. Other remarks: Differentiation tests between northeast Chinese and other Chinese [7–10] samples were not significant for STR loci. These STR loci are useful genetic markers for identification and paternity tests as well as anthropological studies in Chinese population. This paper follows the guidelines for publication of population data requested by the journal [11].
