RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate polymorphisms and forensic efficiency of 22 non-binary single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. METHODS: One hundred ethnic Han Chinese individuals were recruited from Dongguan, Guangdong. The 22 loci were genotyped with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). RESULTS: Nine loci were found with a single allele, 4 loci were found to be biallelic, whilst 9 loci were found to have 3 alleles. For 13 polymorphic loci, the combined discrimination power and power of exclusion were 0.999 98 and 0.9330, respectively. For the 9 non-biallelic loci, the combined discrimination power and power of exclusion were 0.9998 and 0.8956, respectively. For motherless cases, the combined power of exclusion was 0.6405 for 13 polymorphic SNPs and 0.6405 for 9 non-binary SNPs. CONCLUSION: Non-binary loci have a greater discrimination power and exclusion power per SNP.

This study reports the genetic polymorphic data of 15 autosomal STRs D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, D2S1338, D19S433, and FGA observed in Han ethnic group living in Jinan, Shandong, China. The combined match probability and exclusion probability for 15 loci was 3.89x10(-17) and 0.99997, respectively. No mutations at these loci were found in 78 pedigrees, and Chi-test of allelic frequencies in 420 unrelated samples showed no departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at these loci. The pairwise comparisons between Jinan and 41 reference populations were performed.

The frontal sinus is an important tool of personal identification. To assess the forensic applications of the frontal sinus patterns in a Chinese Han population, 198 individuals were analyzed. 165 individuals who have the frontal sinus were observed in this population, and 12 parameters of the frontal sinus were observed according to Yoshino's method. The same combined code was found in three persons from our samples. The unilateral frontal sinus scalloped with one arcade has few parameters applied to personal identification, and shows the poorer discrimination power. These parameters showed better discrimination power in our population, and could be applied to personal identification.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain population genetic data at 15 short tandem repeat(STRs) in Shandong Han population. METHODS: Fifteen STRs were genotyped in 200 unrelated individuals from Shandong Han population using Identifiler(TM) Kit. RESULTS: In this Shandong Han population, the observed heterozygosities of the 15 loci ranged from 0.605 to 0.882, and the expected heterozygosities were 0.625-0.862, the polymorphic information contents ranged from 0.57 to 0.85, the discrimination powers ranged from 0.795 to 0.958, and the exclusion probabilities ranged from 0.297 to 0.758. The non-differentiation exact P values at TPOX loci were more than 0.05 between Shandong and Han population of Henan, Jilin, and Jiangsu. The non-differentiation exact P values between Shandong Han population and others populations were more than 0.05 at others loci. The P value at D13S317 was more than 0.05 between Shandong Han population and Ewenki population. CONCLUSION: These loci are polymorphic in Shandong Han population, and the discrimination powers and exclusion probabilities were high in the 15 STRs except TPOX and TH01.
