title: Population genetic data of 15 STR loci in Han population of Henan province (central China).
abstract: Allele frequencies of the 15 STR loci were determined in 208 unrelated individuals from Han population living in Henan, China (central China). All loci except D5S818 were found no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined chance of exclusion (CE) for the 15 studied loci were >0.9999999 and 0.999996119, respectively. Our data were statistically compared with the previously reported data from other Chinese population groups, and significant difference was found between central Han Chinese (n=208) and eastern Chinese (n=100) at vWA, or between central Han Chinese (n=208) and southeast Chinese (n=122) at D13S317.
