Abstract Allele frequencies of the nine short tandem repeats (STR) loci D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D3S1358, D7S820, vWA, FGA (AmpFlSTR Profiler PlusTM) were determined in a population sample of unrelated individuals living in central China. # 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Short tandem repeats (STRs); Population data; Central Chinese population; AmpFlSTR Profiler PlusTM PCR amplification kit
Population: Blood samples of 392 unrelated healthy individuals living in central China were collected after informed consent. Extraction: A Chelex method was used for extracting genomic DNA [1]. PCR: 0.5–2 ng target DNA following manufacturer’s protocols (AmpFlSTR1 Profiler PlusTM PCR amplification kits, PE Applied Biosystems). Typing: ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzer and reference commercial ladders (PE Applied Biosystems). Results: See Table 1. Analysis of data: Genetic data were analyzed using Powerstats Software V12 [2]. The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was examined by Fisher exact test [3]. Quality control: Use of the control DNA and allelic ladders provided by the manufacturer of the kit. Access to the data: Via e-mail from corresponding author. Other remarks: Possible deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was tested by the exact test (a 5% significance level is taken). Only a departure from H–W equilibrium was observed in vWA. The observed heterozygosity (HE) ranges from 0.855 (VWA) to 0.732 (D3S1358). The power of discrimination (PD) varies between 0.962 (FGA) and 0.875 (D3S1358). The probability of excluding paternity (PE) varies between 0.704 (VWA) and 0.480 (D3S1358).

An allele frequency distribution comparative analysis was done using the SAS system between our data and the data from eastern Chinese [4], western Chinese [5], Luoba ethnic population in Tibet [6], Macau Chinese [7], Korean population [8] and Malays in Malaysia [9] according to Hou’s method [10]. No significant differences were found between eastern Chinese (n = 100) and our samples, or between western Chinese (n = 260) and our samples, or between Macau Chinese (n = 87) and our samples. But significant differences were found between the Luoba ethnic group in Tibet (n = 83) and our samples at all loci except D7S820 ( p < 0.05). Significant

differences were also found between the Korean population (n = 231) and our samples at D5S818, D8S1179, D13S33317, D18S51 and D21S11 ( p < 0.05), and between Malays (n = 210) and our samples at D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D18S51, D21S11 and FGA ( p < 0.05). The comparison results between Luoba and central Chinese may be influenced by the small Luoba sample number reported in Ref. [6] (Fig. 1).
