Polymorphism at 15 microsatellite loci was studied in four predominant, endogamous populations of Maharashtra state in India. The studied population included Marathas, Desasth Brahmins, Chitpavan Brahmins and Dhangars; all of whom belong to Marathi speaking linguistic group of India. The distribution of the allele pattern at 13 tetranucleotide repeat and two pentanucleotide repeat of Powerplex 16 System portrays that these markers are highly polymorphic and thus, informative in human identification and understanding diversity in the addressed populations.
对印度马哈拉施特拉邦四个主要的同族通婚人群的15个微卫星位点的多态性进行了研究。研究人群包括马拉地人、德萨斯婆罗门、奇托帕万婆罗门和丹加尔人；他们都属于印度说马拉地语的语言群体。Powerplex 16系统的13个四核苷酸重复序列和2个五核苷酸重复序列的等位基因模式分布表明，这些标记具有高度多态性，因此在人类识别和理解所研究人群的多样性方面具有信息价值。
