Analysis of STR polymorphisms in the Chao Shan population in South China.
Chao Shao area is a littoral under the jurisdiction of Guangdong province, abutting on Fujian. Historically, the area was relatively isolated from other parts of China until 1990s, when it started to take a small number of immigrants from other regions. People residing in this area speak in unique dialect and have distinct lifestyle. Allele frequencies for the 15 short tandem repeats (STR) loci included in the AmpFLSTR Identifiler kit were obtained from a sample of 144 unrelated Chinese born and living in the Chao Shan area, South China.
