Abstract

Using the Applied Biosystems’ AmpFℓSTR® SGM Plus® PCR amplification kit, we studied the allele frequency distribution of 10 STR loci in two south Asian populations: one from the Gujarat region of India represented by 172 unrelated Gujaratis, now resident in England; and a Pakistani population, represented by 155 unrelated individuals. Gujarat borders southeast Pakistan. There were no significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in either population after Bonferroni correction. The combined power of discrimination and exclusion for the Indian population were 0.999999999999544 and 0.9999785, respectively; for the Pakistani population, they were 0.999999999999865 and 0.9998975, respectively. FST (or θ) between these two populations was estimated as 0.00146.
