However, for many complex diseases and traits, the underlying genetic model for a genetic locus is usually uncertain. So a robust test free of genetic model is appropriate. In this paper, the authors propose a model-embedded trend test by incorporating Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium information and obtain the explicit formula to calculate its statistical significance. Extensive simulation studies show the proposed test is more robust than the existing procedures. Finally, a real application is further analyzed to show the performance of the proposed test.展开更多

The differences between the laws of the allele frequencies for autosomal genes and genes linked to sex are described. Radiation conditions were found at maintenance of the balance of the Hardy-Weinberg genotype in the population, as well as conditions of complete elimination of the targeted allele by ionizing radiation. Conclusions about the nature of radiation resistance of the population are drawn.展开更多
Objective To analyze the genetic polymorphism of 6 STR loci (D12S358, D12S1675, D12S1663, D12S1697, D12S1725 and D12S1613) on chromosome 12 in Chinese Han population.

Methods EDTA-blood specimens were collected from 153 unrelated individuals of Chinese Han population in Shaanxi province. Allele and genotype frequencies for the 6 STR loci were estimated and statistical parameters of polymorphism were calculated. Results 8 alleles and 18 genotypes, 10 alleles and 17 genotypes, 9 alleles and 15 genotypes, 12alleles and 29 genotypes, 12 alleles and 31 genotypes, 8 alleles and 11 genotypes were observed at D12S358, D12S1675, D12S1663, D12S1697, D12S1725 and D12S1613, respectively. No deviations of the observed allele frequency from Hardy-weinberg equilibrium expectations were found for any of these loci. The Heterozygotes of these 6 loci were 78.89%, 66.10%, 54.95%, 79.10%, 71.98% and 59.48%, respectively. It indicated the high genetic polymorphism of the loci in Chinese Han population. Conclusion The 6 STR loci belonged to the genetic marker system of high discriminutesation and high information in Chinese Han population and can be used in the study of gene-related diseases.展开更多
Objective To analyze the genetic polymorphism of 5 STR loci (D12S304, D12S313, D12S1583, D12S1640 and D12S1708) on chromosome 12 in Chinese Han population.

Methods EDTA-anticoagulated blood specimens were collected from unrelated individuals of Chinese Han population in Shaanxi province. DNA samples were extracted with the Wizard Genomic DNA purification Kit and were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The PCR products were analyzed by ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzer. Results All 5 loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Allele and genotype frequencies, heterozygosity, power of discrimination, polymorphism information content, probability of paternity exclusion and matching probability of each locus were calculated in Excel 2002. Conclusion They are complex loci with lots of evenly distributed alleles and high heterozygosity in Chinese Han population. Thus they are informative polymorphic loci and valuable DNA marker which represents a superior alternative to many established STRs.展开更多
