Abstract

Allele frequencies and forensically relevant population statistics of the STR loci in the AmpFlSTR® NGM SElect™ PCR Amplification Kit were estimated for the Han population from Fujian province in China (n = 454). All loci were highly polymorphic and the cumulative match probability was 5.4 × 10−21. No significant departure from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium was detected after correction for sampling. The population substructure of Fujian Han population is minor.
