Abstract
Our previous work focused on validation the SureID 23comp Human Identification Kit (Health Gene Technologies, China), following the minimum criteria for validation recommended by the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) and the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) using 500 samples from the population of Saudi Arabia. The kit genotypes 22 STRs, 17 of which are non-CODIS, and Amelogenin. The validation tests showed that it has the potential to increase the power of testing in complex cases.
In this paper, the allele frequency data, common forensic parameters for the 17 non-CODIS STR loci are presented. We found the majority of loci had an excess of homozygosity in the data set, which is most likely explained by the relatively high levels of consanguinity in the population of Saudi Arabia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Forensic Science International Genetics Supplement Series is the perfect publication vehicle for the proceedings of a scientific symposium, commissioned thematic issues, or for disseminating a selection of invited articles. The Forensic Science International Genetics Supplement Series is part of a duo of publications on forensic genetics, published by Elsevier on behalf of the International Society for Forensic Genetics.
