The 12Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci DYS19, DYS389I and II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS385a and b were analyzed in a sample of 109 unrelated male individuals from mountainous areas of Minnan, Southeast China. A total of 95 haplotypes were identified. The allele diversity values for each locus ranged from 0.3205 (DYS391) to 0.9553 (DYS385), the haplotype diversity was 0.9863, and the discrimination capacity 0.8716.

Genetic profile of 15 short tandem repeats (STR) loci were determined in a Chinese Han population from the Min Nan mountainous area, Southeast China.

Chao Shao area is a littoral under the jurisdiction of Guangdong province, abutting on Fujian. Historically, the area was relatively isolated from other parts of China until 1990s, when it started to take a small number of immigrants from other regions. People residing in this area speak in unique dialect and have distinct lifestyle. Allele frequencies for the 15 short tandem repeats (STR) loci included in the AmpFLSTR Identifiler kit were obtained from a sample of 144 unrelated Chinese born and living in the Chao Shan area, South China.
