title: Genetic variation of three autosomal STR loci D21S1435, D21S1411, and D21S1412 in Korean population.
abstract: The autosomal tetranucleotide short tandem repeat loci D21S1435, D21S1411 and D21S1412 were analyzed in samples of unrelated 200 Korean individuals. The loci showed no significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Alleles were assigned according to the International Society for Forensic Haemogenetics (ISFH) recommendations. The power of discrimination of the analyzed markers was found to be high for the populations, thereby facilitating the validation and efficiency of these STR markers in forensic human identification and paternity testing. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the nomenclature and the allele frequency data for these three STR loci in Korean population.
