Abstract

Genetic polymorphism of 22 autosomal STR loci included in PowerPlex® Fusion System (D3S1358, D1S1656, D2S441, D10S1248, D13S317, Penta E, D16S539, D18S51, D2S1338, CSF1PO, Penta D, TH01, vWA, D21S11, D7S820, D5S818, TPOX, D8S1179, D12S391, D19S433, FGA and D22S1045) was studied in 188 unrelated Bangladeshi Bengali individuals. Allele frequencies and forensic efficiency parameters such as, the power of discrimination (PD), observed and expected heterozygosity (Ho & He), polymorphism information content (PIC), probability of match (PM), power of exclusion (PE) and typical paternity index was calculated for the loci. The combined PM and PE for all 22 STR loci were calculated to be 5.29×10-27 and 0.99999999945 respectively. The dataset indicated the usefulness of these loci in personal identification, parentage testing and complex kinship analysis in Bangladeshi population. A neighbor-joining tree was constructed based on pair-wise Nei's genetic distance by comparing allele frequency data for the 22 loci with six other populations. The analysis showed that Bangladeshi population lies closer to a clade consisting Japan, the Philippines and East Timot populations.
