Abstract

Population studies of 30 insertion/deletion (INDEL) markers were conducted using the Investigator® DIPplex kit (Qiagen) in 197, 80, and 78 unrelated individuals from Japan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, respectively. No significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were observed for all but three INDEL markers: two markers in the Japanese samples and one marker in the Bangladeshi and Indonesian samples. The combined power of discrimination values for the 30 INDEL markers in the Japanese, Bangladeshi, and Indonesian populations were 0.999999999983, 0.999999999999, and 0.999999999937, respectively. These results would be useful in forensic genetic investigations and population genetic studies.
