[Analysis of the genetic polymorphisms of 15 autosomal short tandem repeat in a Han population of Shandong].
OBJECTIVE
To obtain population genetic data at 15 short tandem repeat(STRs) in Shandong Han population.


METHODS
Fifteen STRs were genotyped in 200 unrelated individuals from Shandong Han population using Identifiler(TM) Kit.


RESULTS
In this Shandong Han population, the observed heterozygosities of the 15 loci ranged from 0.605 to 0.882, and the expected heterozygosities were 0.625-0.862, the polymorphic information contents ranged from 0.57 to 0.85, the discrimination powers ranged from 0.795 to 0.958, and the exclusion probabilities ranged from 0.297 to 0.758. The non-differentiation exact P values at TPOX loci were more than 0.05 between Shandong and Han population of Henan, Jilin, and Jiangsu. The non-differentiation exact P values between Shandong Han population and others populations were more than 0.05 at others loci. The P value at D13S317 was more than 0.05 between Shandong Han population and Ewenki population.


CONCLUSIONS
These loci are polymorphic in Shandong Han population, and the discrimination powers and exclusion probabilities were high in the 15 STRs except TPOX and TH01.
