title: Analysis of STR polymorphisms in the northeast Chinese population.
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 AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus kit and AmpFlSTR 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.
