Allele frequencies of ten autosomal STR loci, D3S1358, vWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01, and FGA were investigated in Chakma and Tripura tribal populations of Bangladesh. In both the populations, all loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium except for FGA locus in Chakma and D21S11 in Tripura. All the loci were highly polymorphic in Chakma population with an observed heterozygosity (Ho) of >0.7 and moderately polymorphic in Tripura population (Ho>0.6). However, both the population showed least polymorphism at TH01 locus (Ho<0.6). A comparison between Chakma and Tripura population data revealed statistically significant differences in allele frequency distribution for most of the loci. A similar comparison with the mainstream Bengali population using previously published data from this lab also showed significant difference in allele frequency with these two tribal populations.

AbstractA new 16 X-short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex PCR system has recently been developed for Sr Lankans, though its applicability in evolutionary genetics and forensic investigations has not been thoroughly assessed. In this study, 838 unrelated individuals covering all four major ethnic groups (Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamils, Indian Tamils and Moors) in Sri Lanka were successfully genotyped using this new multiplex system. The results indicated a high forensic efficiency for the tested loci in all four ethnicities confirming its suitability for forensic applications of Sri Lankans. Allele frequency distribution of Indian Tamils showed subtle but statistically significant differences from those of Sinhalese and Moors, in contrast to frequency distributions previously reported for autosomal STR alleles. This suggest a sex biased demographic history among Sri Lankans requiring a separate X-STR allele frequency database for Indian Tamils. Substantial differences observed in the patterns of LD among the four groups demand the use of a separate haplotype frequency databases for each individual ethnicity. When analysed together with other 14 world populations, all Sri Lankan ethnicities except Indian Tamils clustered closely with populations from Indian Bhil tribe, Bangladesh and Europe reflecting their shared Indo-Aryan ancestry.

Allele frequencies for the 15 STR loci in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® and statistical parameters were estimated from a sample of 233 unrelated individuals from different area of Nepal. A total of 161 alleles were found, with corresponding allelic frequencies ranging from 0.0021 to 0.4077. The MP, PD, PIC, PE, TPI, Ho and He ranged from 0.0282 to 0.1511, 0.8489 to 0.9717, 0.6478 to 0.8700, 0.4546 to 0.7631, 1.7651 to 4.3148, 0.7167 to 0.8841 and 0.7009 to 0.8833 respectively. Deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium were observed for D16S539, D18S51, D21S11 and TPOX Markers. One new allele has been detected in the process.
