Abstract
Fifteen autosomal STRs were evaluated using Identifiler plus kit in 121 Arain samples of Pakistan. The highly discriminatory locus was D2S1338 with value of 0.968. Allele 8 at TPOX was the most frequent with value of 0.467. No significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were seen except D3S1358 and D18S51. Combined power of discrimination, combined power of exclusion, and combined matching probability were obtained as 0.9999999999999999925, 0.99999815, and 7.4897 × −18, respectively. Population differentiation test demonstrated significant differences between Arain and geographically distinct populations.
