Abstract Y-chromosomal STRs loci were analyzed from a sample of 201 healthy unrelated male individuals of Chinese Korean ethnic group. Allele and haplotype frequencies for DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS388, DYS389 I, DYS389 II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS439 were determined by the general PCR and silver staining methods. The gene diversity values for the Y-STRs loci ranged from 0.4146 (DYS437) to 0.9631 (DYS385a/b). A total of 194 haplotypes were identified in the Y-STR loci, among which 188 were unique, while 6 occurred more than once. And the combined haploytpes diversity was 0.9996. The results in the present study can be used for routine forensic application in the region, and enrich Chinese ethnical genetic informational resources. # 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Population: Fresh blood samples were collected from a random sample of 201 unrelated healthy male individuals of Chinese Korean ethnic group living in JiLin YanBian area. Extraction: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples using the Chelex-100 protocol as described by Walsh et al. [1]. PCR amplification: The PCR amplification was carried out using already published methods for DYS19, DYS385, DYS389, DYS390, DYS391, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS439 loci [2]. And 95 8C for 5 min; followed by 30 cycles of 94 8C for 30 s, 58 8C for 30 s and 72 8C for 30 s, and a final extension of 72 8C for 10 min for DYS388 (GDB:364862) locus, 95 8C for 5 min; followed by 30 cycles of 94 8C for 30 s, 58 8C for 30 s and 72 8C for 30 s, and a final extension of 72 8C for 10 min for DYS392 (GDB:455698) locus in a Perkin-Elmer GeneAmp1 PCR System 9600 Thermal Cycler.

Electrophoresis and typing: PCR products were separated on 5% polyacrylamide denaturing gel (DYS385 on 7% polyacrylamide non-denaturing gel) and visualized by silver staining. Allele designations were determined by comparison of the mixture PCR fragments previously sequenced for each locus. The alleles of all loci were named according to the number of repeat units present as recommended by the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG) [3]. And the nomenclature of Haplotype follows the guidelines of http:// www.yhrd.org. Results: Allele frequencies and the gene diversities values are shown in Table 1. The haplotype distributions and gene diversity values of Chinese Korean population are shown in Table 2. Location of studied population is shown in Fig. 1. Data analysis: Haplotype and allele frequencies were estimated by direct counting method. Haplotype and gene diversities were estimated according to Nei [4]. A comparative analysis between these haplotype data and previously published data was carried out by an Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) test implemented by Arlequin software, Version, 2.000 [5].

Fig. 1. A map showing location of studied Chinese Korean population in northeastern China.

Quality control: In house proficiency testing and use of the control DNA. And the similarly detection methods has been used in our prior study [2]. Access to the data: [email protected]. Other remarks: A total of 194 different haplotypes were observed in the analyzed Chinese Korean population, among which 188 haplotypes were unique, 5 haplotypes (#5, #42, #68, #123 and #131) ware found in two individuals, respectively, and 1 (#1) was found in three individuals. 184 out of the 201 northeast Chinese Korean extended haplotypes (DYS19– DYS389–DYS390–DYS391–DYS392–DYS393–DYS385– DYS438–DYS439) were not previously observed in the Y-STR Haplotype Reference Database (YHRD) among 6.199 minimal haplotypes in a set of 49 Asian populations; the 6 most common Chinese Korean Y haplotypes (#103, #105, #111, #122, #146 and #148) matched to one individual, respectively, and four common haplotypes (#121, #165, #56 and #131) each matched to three, three, four and seven individuals in the general Asian data set. The overall haplotype diversity value for these Y-STRs loci was 0.9996. A comparative analysis between our data and previously published data for the same set of Y-STR loci has been done using the statistical method of pairwise differentiation test. The comparative results showed that Chinese Korean ethnic group population has significant differences ( p < 0.005) from Tibet Han population (Rst = 0.0215) [6], China Yi population (Rst = 0.0226) [7], Southeast China Han population (Rst = 0.1099) [8], Hong Kong population (Rst = 0.0283) [9], Taiwan population (Rst = 0.2219) [10], Singapore population (Rst = 0.0329) [11], Japan population (Rst = 0.0148) [12], Irish population (Rst = 0.1812) [13], Russian population (Rst = 0.0962) [14], Switzerland population (Rst = 0.0052) [15], Germany population (Rst = 0.0056) [16], Turkey population (Rst = 0.0316) [17], and Poland population (Rst = 0.0409) [18]. And there were no significant difference between

the studied population and South Korean population (Rst = 0.0002, p = 0.5588  0.0412) [19], slightly significant difference between same areas China Han (Rst = 0.0215, p = 0.0139  0.0043) [2]. These data have great usefulness for forensic application in the region and population genetics, and can enrich Chinese ethnical genetic informational resources.
