Genetic data on 10 autosomal STR loci in the Bangladeshi population

Allele frequencies of 10 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci, D3S1358, vWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01 and FGA were determined in 211 unrelated Bangladeshi individual using AmpFLSTR SGM Plus PCR Amplification Kit. Statistical parameters of forensic importance, the power of discrimination (PD), observed and expected heterozygosity values (H), polymorphism information content (PIC), probability of match (PM), power of exclusion (PE) and typical paternity index (TPI) were calculated for the loci. These parameters indicated the usefulness of the loci in paternity testing and personal identification in the Bangladeshi population.
