- X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) are vital for forensic investigations and understanding population genetics, yet there's scarce data on their variation in Pakistani ethnic groups, specifically Kashmiris and Punjabis.
- This research examined 12 X-STRs from 125 families (75 Kashmiri and 50 Punjabi) in Pakistan, showcasing 222 total alleles, with allele frequencies varying widely, and highlighting specific loci variance in polymorphism.
- Findings indicated strong discrimination power for kinship analysis and revealed distinct genetic structures between Kashmiri and Punjabi populations, emphasizing their unique genetic backgrounds and differences from East Asian groups.
