title: Population genetic analyses and evaluation of 22 autosomal STRs in Indian populations.
abstract: The allele frequencies and forensically relevant parameters for the 22 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) present in PowerPlex® Fusion (Promega, Madison, WI) were determined for 357 unrelated individuals from 11 states across India. The combined power of discrimination and probability of exclusion were 0.99999999999999999999999999875 and 0.999999997200846, respectively. The panel was found to be informative for Indian populations and generated a total of 275 alleles. Further, analyses with these loci did not show any noticeable clustering among the Indian populations.
