STR data for the AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® loci in Kuwaiti population

Abstract Allele frequencies for 15 STR loci included in AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® kit were ascertained in a sample population of 502 unrelated Kuwaiti individuals. Allele frequencies were compared with 6 Caucasian populations using an exact test. This showed that the Kuwaiti population was very similar...

Description
Summary:Abstract Allele frequencies for 15 STR loci included in AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® kit were ascertained in a sample population of 502 unrelated Kuwaiti individuals. Allele frequencies were compared with 6 Caucasian populations using an exact test. This showed that the Kuwaiti population was very similar to the neighboring Iraqi and Saudi populations. As the geographical distance between the populations increased, as expected, more differences were observed. Relevant forensic parameters were also determined.
