Abstract: Objective To investigate the polymorphism of HLA-DRB1 gene in a population of Beijing region and research on the application feasibility of HLA-DRB1 by PCR-SBT method. Methods Polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) method was used to determine HLA-DRB1 genotypes of 494 unrelated healthy people of Beijing region. Results A total of 233 different HLA-DRB1 genetypes and 102 alleles were detected. The observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), polymorphism information content (PIC), probability of matching (Pm); discrimination power (DP) and probability of paternity exclusion (PPE) of HLA-DRB1 in the samples were calculated and their values were 0.921 0,0.934 2, 0.933 3, 0.010 4, 0.989 6,and 0.777 6 respectively. Conclusion HLA-DRB1 typing by PCR-SBT is very useful in forensic science.
