Genetic polymorphism of 19 autosomal STR loci in the Yi ethnic minority of Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture from Sichuan province in China

Abstract The Yi is one of fifty-six ethnic populations and one of the most ancient ethnic groups in China. The Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (LYAP) in Sichuan Province has the single largest Yi community in China. To establish a Yi population database in the LYAP of Sichuan in China, a Goldeney...

Sumario:Abstract The Yi is one of fifty-six ethnic populations and one of the most ancient ethnic groups in China. The Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (LYAP) in Sichuan Province has the single largest Yi community in China. To establish a Yi population database in the LYAP of Sichuan in China, a Goldeneye™ DNA Identification System 20A Kit with 19 autosomal STRs (short tandem repeats) was used. As a result, the total discrimination power (TDP) and the cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) for these STRs in 1016 unrelated individuals were 0.999999999999999999999897 and 0.9999999597, respectively. Totals of 273 alleles for 19 STRs and 8–22 alleles for each locus were found. The allelic frequencies ranged from 0.0005 to 0.5084. The forensic parameter averages of these STRs were as follows: observed heterozygosity (Hobs) of 78.44%, expected heterozygosity (Hexp) of 79.89%, discrimination power (DP) of 92.66%, and probability of exclusion (PE) of 57.68%. Penta E presented the highest levels of Hobs and DP, whereas TPOX showed the lowest Hobs and DP values. Nei’s standard genetic distance matrix among 31 populations found that the nearest genetic distance to the Yi population was the Sichuan Han (0.0056). Altogether, we first reported the forensic parameters and allele frequencies of 19 autosomal STRs of the Yi group in Liangshan. These 19 STR makers could provide highly informative polymorphisms for individual identification, paternity testing and genetic population analyses.
