Abstract
BACKGROUND A prerequisite for applying short tandem repeat (STR) kits is obtaining population allele and/or haplotype frequencies and forensic parameters. AIM Firstly, we aimed to investigate the population data of 19 X-chromosomal STRs (X-STRs) included in the AGCU X19 STR kit in the Han people residing in Hubei Province, Central China, and the Zhuang people residing in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of South China. Furthermore, we compared these population data with those for other Chinese populations. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In total, 509 unrelated Han males and 266 unrelated Zhuang males were genotyped using the AGCU X19 STR kit. Allele frequencies, haplotype frequencies, and forensic parameters were computed, and genetic differences among 15 Chinese populations were analysed. RESULTS The 19 X-STRs showed a high power of discrimination and high mean chance of exclusion, whether calculated using allele or haplotype frequencies. Major differences were found between Han and Oroqen, Uyghur, Mongolian, Tibetan, Li, and Yi populations. Aberrant biallelic patterns at DXS10159, DXS10134, and DXS10079 and allelic dropouts at DXS10164 were observed. CONCLUSION The 19 X-STRs were highly polymorphic in the Hubei Han and Guangxi Zhuang populations, and the AGCU X19 STR kit was shown to be suitable for forensic casework.

[PMID: 34992635 PMCID: PMC8724515 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.795570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Northwest China is a contacting region for East and West Eurasia and an important center for investigating the migration and admixture history of human populations. However, the comprehensive genetic structure and admixture history of the Altaic speaking populations and Hui group in Northwest China were still not fully characterized due to insufficient sampling and the lack of genome-wide data. Thus, We genotyped genome-wide SNPs for 140 individuals from five Chinese Mongolic, Turkic speaking groups including Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, and Salar, as well as the Hui group. Analysis based on allele-sharing and haplotype-sharing were used to elucidate the population history of Northwest Chinese populations, including PCA, ADMIXTURE, pairwise Fst genetic distance, f-statistics, qpWave/qpAdm and ALDER, fineSTRUCTURE and GLOBETROTTER. We observed Dongxiang, Bonan, Yugur, Salar, and Hui people were admixed populations deriving ancestry from both East and West Eurasians, with the proportions of West Eurasian related contributions ranging from 9 to 15%. The genetic admixture was probably driven by male-biased migration- showing a higher frequency of West Eurasian related Y chromosomal lineages than that of mtDNA detected in Northwest China. ALDER-based admixture and haplotype-based GLOBETROTTER showed this observed West Eurasian admixture signal was introduced into East Eurasia approximately 700 ∼1,000 years ago. Generally, our findings provided supporting evidence that the flourish transcontinental communication between East and West Eurasia played a vital role in the genetic formation of northwest Chinese populations.

Forensic characteristics and population construction of two major minorities from southwest China revealed by a novel 37 Y-STR loci system. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2021; 8:210447.

Abstract
Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have become important supplementary evidence in forensic science. Nowadays, the Y-chromosome STR haplotype reference database (YHRD) contains abundant Y-STR haplotype data from all over the world, while haplotype data of Guizhou Miao and Tujia are scarce. Hence, genetic polymorphisms of 37 Y-STRs were investigated in 446 unrelated males (206 Miao males and 246 Tujia males) residing in Guizhou Province. A total of 206 and 242 unique haplotypes with the highest diversity value of 0.9665 and 0.9470 were obtained. The heatmap, multidimensional scaling (MDS), the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) tree and principal component analysis (PCA) based on the genetic distance (Rst) value within our studied populations and other 26 populations indicated that population structures follow the boundary of the continent. Guizhou Miao and Guizhou Tujia populations have intimate relationships with East Asian populations, especially the geographically close, similar history and the same language family populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-chromosome short tandem repeats (X-STRs) with unique sex-linkage inheritance models play a complementary role in forensic science. Guizhou is a multiethnic province located in southwest China and some genetic evidence focusing on X-STRs for various minorities was reported. However, population data of Guizhou Tujia are scarce. METHODS A total of 507 Guizhou Tujia individuals were profiled using the AGCU X-19 STR kit. Allele frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated. Additionally, population genetic relationships between Guizhou Tujia and other 19 populations were explored. RESULTS A total of 257 alleles with the allele frequencies ranged from 0.0013 to 0.6098 were found. The combined power of discrimination in males and females and mean exclusion chances in all case scenarios were all greater than 0.99999. Population comparisons showed Guizhou Tujia had a homogeneity with all Han populations from different administrative regions, and other ethnic populations residing in Guizhou, while had obviously genetic heterogeneity with the Altaic family populations except Xibe. CONCLUSION Nineteen X-STRs can afford a reliable and informative database of Guizhou Tujia population for human identification and paternity testing, especially in complex biological relations. The genetic relationships of Chinese are significantly influenced by the geographic position and ethnolinguistic origin.
