Genetic studies of eight X-STRs in a Japanese population

Abstract We studied eight X-STRs (DXS7132, DXS7423, DXS8378, DXS10074, DXS10101, DXS10134, DXS10135, HPRTB) polymorphism in 494 unrelated Japanese individuals (313 males, 181 females) using Mentype Argus X-8 PCR Amplification Kit. PD of the eight X-STRs ranged from 0.558 (male) to 0.987 (female). Allele frequencies, number of alleles, and PIC were 0.001–0.587, 6–20, and 0.470–0.913, respectively.
