title: Polish population data on 15 autosomal STRs of AmpFlSTR NGM PCR kit.
abstract: The objective of the research was to provide a comprehensive database of autosomal microsatellite loci included in AmpFlSTR NGM PCR kit for a population of Poland considering possible genetic differentiation of a forensic interest. Fifteen STR markers were analyzed in 2041 unrelated individuals residing in eight geographically different regions. All the loci were found to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The combined probability of match is 3.52 × 10(-19) and the combined Power of Exclusion is 0.9999998. The F(ST) estimate over all 15 STRs is 0.0051 for the Polish population. We established that a combined NGM database may be employed for a Polish population.
