Abstract
Allele frequencies and forensically relevant population statistics parameter of 22 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were determined from 525 unrelated Uygur ethnic individuals. The samples were amplified with Microreader™ 23sp ID system. No significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was detected, except for loci D7S3048, D21S1270, and D13S325. Investigated loci are very discriminating in Uygur ethnic population, with a combined discrimination power of 0.999999999999999999999999999920743. Furthermore, a comparison with previously published frequency data from Han population is presented.
