AI Article Synopsis

  • The study analyzed allele frequencies of 13 autosomal STR loci in 56 unrelated Iranian individuals, finding 5-11 alleles per locus and a total of 94 unique alleles.
  • Two loci were monomorphic, but the rest were polymorphic, indicating variability useful for forensic applications.
  • These findings suggest that 11 out of the 13 nonCODIS STR loci are valuable for human identification and kinship studies in Iran.

Article Abstract

Allele frequencies and forensic statistics of 13 autosomal short tandem repeat loci were estimated in 56 unrelated Iranian individuals. Except for two loci which were monomorph, a total of 5-11 alleles at each locus were observed and altogether 94 alleles for all selected loci were found. Our results show that 11 out of 13 nonCODIS STR loci are polymorphic and can be useful for human identification and kinship analysis and relationship investigations in Iran.
