Forensic Population Genetics—Short communication Population data and sequence analysis of a 'new' microsatellite locus HumHUU (D16S3433)
2010
This study reports sequence characteristics and population genetic data on a ‘new’ STR locus HumHUU (D16S3433) located in the non-coding region of chromosome 16q. Based on a population sample of 306 non-related Polish individuals 205 genotypes and 15 alleles with length range of 157–211 bp were distinguished. No deviation from HWE was observed. The sequence analysis of each D16S3433 allele revealed a tetranucleotide repeat motif with a basic sequence structure (AAAA)0–1(AAAG)11– 22 (AAAAG)(AAAA)(AG)(AAAAAAG). The power of discrimination is 0.9538, showing a high degree of polymorphism. The presented results demonstrate that the D16S3433 is a useful genetic marker for forensic purposes and paternity testing.
