title: Genetic polymorphisms of 15 STR in Chinese Salar ethnic minority group.
abstract: Allele frequency data for 15 STR loci, namely D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA, were obtained from a sample of 258 healthy unrelated individuals of Salar population in China. All loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. After comparing, significant differences were found between the Salar and Miao, Uigur, Han, Korean, Belgian, Byelorussian population at some loci. The results demonstrate that the loci are useful for forensic human identification and parentage testing.
