Allele frequencies of 23 short tandem repeat loci in the Vietnamese Kinh population
The analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) loci using PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) remains the gold standard in forensic genetics and human identity testing. However, the quality of the STR allele frequency databases for Vietnamese Kinh population is not assured and the number of in...

The analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) loci using PCR followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) remains the gold standard in forensic genetics and human identity testing. However, the quality of the STR allele frequency databases for Vietnamese Kinh population is not assured and the number of investigated STR loci in the researches is limited. To increase the reliability of allele frequency databases and the associated statistical parameters used for personal identification, paternity testing, and forensics, genetic polymorphisms at 23 STR loci were examined in a large sample comprising 1000 unrelated Vietnamese Kinh individuals. Our dataset was submitted to STRidER (STRs for Identity ENFSI Reference Database) for quality control. The data were verified and successfully passed the inspection of STRidER (Reference No. STR000345). No significant deviation from the HardyWeinberg equilibrium was found for the observed loci after applying the Bonferroni correction. All loci showed a high degree of genetic polymorphism, the most informative locus among the study panel was Penta E.
