ABSTRACT
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (XUARC) with 47 ethnic groups is a very colorful ethnic region of China, harboring abundant genetic and cultural diversity. The Kazakhs are the third largest ethnic group (7.02%) after Uyghur (46.42%) and Han (38.99%) in Xinjiang, but their genetic diversity and forensic characterization are poorly understood. In the current study, we genotyped 15 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci and ten Y-STRs in 889 individuals (659 male and 230 female) collected from Kazak population of the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture using AGCU Expressmarker 16 and 10Y-STR Kit (EX16 + 10Y). For autosomal STRs, we observed a total of 174 different alleles ranging from 6 to 34.2 repeat units and FGA showed the greatest power of discrimination (20 alleles) in Ili Kazakh population. We have not observed departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) after sequential Bonferroni correction and only found a minimal departure from linkage equilibrium (LE) for a very small number of pairwise combinations of loci. The combined power of exclusion (CPE) was 0.99999998395 and combined power of discrimination (CPD) was 99.999999999999999798%. For Y-STRs, we observed a total of 496 different haplotypes in these ten Y-STR loci. The gene diversities ranged from 0.5023 (DYS391) to 0.8357 (DYS385a/b). The overall haplotype diversity (GD) was 0.9985 with random matching probability (RMP) of 0.0015. The results of population genetic analysis based on both autosomal and Y-chromosome STRs demonstrated that the genetic affinity among populations is generally consistent with ethnic, linguistic, and continental geographical classifications.
