Abstract
In this study, we assessed and established an allelic frequency database of Malayalam-speaking population of south western Indian state Kerala, using 15 polymorphic short tandem repeats (STRs) genetic markers. For this study, 464 unrelated healthy individuals were randomly selected following the ethical standards. The most polymorphic and most discriminating locus was D2S1338, with a value of 0.860 and 0.968, respectively. The range of heterozygosity extended from a minimum of 0.668 (TH01) to a maximum of 0.847 (D2S1338). The combined discrimination power (CPD) and combined exclusion power (CPE) were 1 and 0.999997861, respectively, for all 15 autosomal STR loci under study. The combined probability of match (CPM) and combined paternity index (CPI) for all 15 autosomal STR loci were found to be 9.85 × 10-19 and 4.18 × 105, respectively.
