title: [Polymorphism of DXYS267 locus and application of its Y-specific single nucleotide substitutions].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the polymorphism of DXYS267 locus in China Han population and find the application and characters of its Y-specific single nucleotide substitutions.
  
  
  METHODS
  The locus was analyzed by PCR and PAGE in silver-staining. The Y-specific STR was amplified with newly designed primers according to the Y-specific single nucleotide substitutions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six alleles were detected in Han population in Wuhan. Exact tests demonstrated that genotype frequencies did not deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Heterozygosity of DXYS267 was 0.6706, discrimination power (DP) was 0.8433, and the probability of paternity exclusion (PE) was 0.5957. The Y-specific STR of DXYS267 was successfully amplified with the new primer. The 4 alleles for Y-STR were detected with haplotype diversity (HD) 0.6372.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The DXYS267 locus is appropriate for individual identification and paternity testing. The new primer is useful for individual and paternity testing involving brothers and mixed stains.
