Genetic Polymorphism of Penta E Locus in Four Chinese Nationalities
中国畲族、锡伯族、壮族和藏族Penta E位点的遗传多态性

To study the genetic polymorphism of Penta E locus in four Chinese nationalities using home made reagent kits,DNA samples were obtained from about 400 unrelated peoples of four different Chinese nationalities.As a result,we found 20 alleles in the four nationalities with frequencies ranging from 0.0048 to 0.2396.The genotype frequencies of Penta E locus met Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.It proved that Penta E locus was a high polymorphic STR genetic marker and was valuable for forensic science.
