Abstract: Objective To obtain the genetic data on STR locus D6S2418,and analyzed its genetic polymorphism in 3 different races (Han,Thai and Germany). Methods The blood samples from 300 unrelated individuals were analyzed by PCR,PAG electrophoresis and silver staining. Results 9 alleles and 31 genotypes were observed.The observed heterozygosity and the discrimination power were 64%-81% and 84.2%-93.5%,respectively.The genotype distributions of D6S2418 locus in 3 populations were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the difference of allelic frequency distributions among 3 populations was obvious. Conclusion The methods founded are easy to perform and sensitive. The discrimination power and exclusion chances of this locus are desirable for forensic analysis and application.
