POLYMORPHISM OF X-CHROMOSOME MICROSATELLITE LOCI OF ETHNIC BELARUSIANS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FORENSIC PERSONALITY IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

This is the first extensive study of the X-chromosome polymorphism of ethnic Belarusians in a set of 360 male and 423 female samples (783 samples, 1206 chromosomes in total) from 11 regions of Belarus. The study involved 19 STR-loci: DXS10135, DXS8378, DXS10148, DXS7132, DXS10074, DXS10079, DXS10075, HPRTB, DXS10101, DXS10103, DXS10134, DXS7423, DXS10146, DXS8377, DXS10147, DXS9895, DXS7424, DXS7133, and GATA172D05. The frequencies of the alleles have been determined, and the tables of allele frequencies for the pooled Belarusian population sample have been composed.
