title: Analysis of the short tandem repeat systems HUMF13B and HUMvWF in Chinese (Liaoning).
abstract: The short tandem repeat (STR) systems HUMF13B and HUMvWF were investigated in 200 healthy Chinese individuals living in Liaoning (The northeast of China). The HUMF13B allele frequencies were 6 = 0.0025, 8 = 0.1825, 9 = 0.1750, 10 = 0.6325 and 11 = 0.0075; and the HUMvWF allele frequencies were 13 = 0.0300, 14 = 0.2475, 15 = 0.0450, 16 = 0.1750, 17 = 0.2600, 18 = 0.1525, 19 = 0.0725 and 20 = 0.0175. The distribution of genotypes corresponded to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The distinguishing probabilities (D.P) were calculated as 0.7318 and 0.9366; the polymorphism information content (PIC) were calculated as 0.4827 and 0.7822; and the heterozygosity (h) were calculated as 0.5378 and 0.8128, respectively. The HUMF13B and HUMvWF systems provide a useful genetic marker for human genetics, anthropological studies, and forensic science in the chinese population.
