Haplotype diversity and phylogenetic characteristics for Guanzhong Han population from Northwest China via 38 Y-STRs using Yfiler™ Platinum Amplification System.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For better application in human forensic cases and population genetics research, it is imperative to investigate the genetic characteristics of Guanzhong Han population using enhanced Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STR) detecting system with higher discriminating power than previous ones.

Methods

In this study, 38 Y-STRs were profiled in 430 unrelated Chinese Han male individuals from Guanzhong region of Shaanxi Province, Northwest China, using the Yfiler™ Platinum PCR Amplification Kit. Haplotype frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated. Comprehensive population comparisons with geographically/ethnically different populations in China and other worldwide countries were performed.

Results

A total of 422 different haplotypes were observed w
