Genetic characterization of the loci HLA DQA, lDlR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8 & GC in a Bogota born population sample

A sample from Bogota's born population (n= 92) was typed at seven PCR - based loci: HLA DQA 1 LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D758and Gc. The results showed that all loci meet Hardy Weinberg expectations and there is evidence for lack of linkage equilibrium between GYPA y GC loci. The allele frequencies at a...

Description
Summary:A sample from Bogota's born population (n= 92) was typed at seven PCR - based loci: HLA DQA 1 LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D758and Gc. The results showed that all loci meet Hardy Weinberg expectations and there is evidence for lack of linkage equilibrium between GYPA y GC loci. The allele frequencies at all PM+ DQA 1 loci differed from African Americans, two loci from Bogota residents and Spanish and four loci from Chileans. The combined power of discrimination for all 6 loci is 0.9997, the combined power of exclusion is 0.8986. The frequency data can be used in forensic analysis and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile in the population of Bogota.
