Genetic polymorphism of 12 Y-chromosomal STR loci in the Minnan Han Chinese in Southeast China

The 12Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci DYS19, DYS389I and II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS385a and b were analyzed in a sample of 109 unrelated male individuals from mountainous areas of Minnan, Southeast China. A total of 95 haplotypes were identified. The...

Description
Summary:The 12Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci DYS19, DYS389I and II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS385a and b were analyzed in a sample of 109 unrelated male individuals from mountainous areas of Minnan, Southeast China. A total of 95 haplotypes were identified. The allele diversity values for each locus ranged from 0.3205 (DYS391) to 0.9553 (DYS385), the haplotype diversity was 0.9863, and the discrimination capacity 0.8716.
