OBJECTIVE To investigate the polymorphism of 15 STR loci in Hui population from Ningxia Tongxin district. METHODS Identifiler Plus kit used to detect the allelic frequencies of 15 STR loci in 598 unrelated Tongxin Hui individuals, and the population genetics parameters were calculated by using statistic software. RESULTS The results demonstrated that all loci were found to be no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05), Heterozygosity (H) ranged from 0.637 to 0.868, matching probability (Pm) ranged from 0.034 to 0.213, power of discrimination (DP) ranged from 0.787 to 0.966, polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.560 to 0.850, power of exclusion (PE) ranged from 0.338 to 0.730. CONCLUSIONS The 15 STR loci are relatively abundant in polymorphic information and suitable for paternity testing and personal identification.
