| Summary: | Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are characterized by high levels of length
polymorphism within and among populations and they are ideal markers for forensic
analysis of biospecimens. In this research project, allele frequencies for three STRs loci
that are Fl3A01, FESFPS and vWA in random Tamil population were studied. Buccal
swabs were collected from 100 unrelated individuals of ethnic Tamil population of
Malaysia. STR profiling of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from these
samples were profiled for the three STR.s using multiplex primer kit (Promega
Corporation, USA).
Statistical analysis was also carried out to obtain some parameters and
comparative studies were carried out with other populations. A database for random
Tamil population will help in human identity testing in Malaysia. The genotype
frequency distributions do not deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg expectations. |
