Abstract
Background: To study the genetic characteristics of X-chromosome short tandem repeats (X-STRs) in the Yunnan Yi ethnic minority.
Methods: We analyzed the allele frequencies and forensic parameters for 16 X-STR loci in 432 unrelated Yi individuals (206 males and 226 females) in Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
Results: A total of 130 alleles were detected. Except for DXS6800, the other loci are highly polymorphic in the Yunnan Yi ethnicity. The combined values of discrimination for males (PDM) and females (PDF) were 0.999999999968561 and 0.999999999999993, respectively, which can be used for forensic medical identification and genetic studies. On the basis of the results of population comparison, there seems to be a relatively close evolutionary relationship between adjacent populations and different ethnic groups in the same region.
Conclusions: This study contributes to X-chromosome genetic polymorphism data for the Yunnan Yi ethnicity and further enriches reference materials on the Chinese Yi ethnic minority.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Human Genetics publishes material directly concerned with human genetics or the application of scientific principles and techniques to any aspect of human inheritance. Papers that describe work on other species that may be relevant to human genetics will also be considered. Mathematical models should include examples of application to data where possible.
Authors are welcome to submit Supporting Information, such as data sets or additional figures or tables, that will not be published in the print edition of the journal, but which will be viewable via the online edition and stored on the website.
