Allelic frequencies and other population data analysis are reported for the 15 autosomal Short Tandem Repeats (STR) loci included in the PowerPlex(®)16 kit (CSF1PO, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, TPOX, TH01 and vWA) in Pomeranian's descendants from the Espirito Santo State (ES), Brazil, third largest population of Pomeranian's descendants in the world. They chose the mountain region of the state for their preferred geographic location, and they have a very peculiar lifestyle with a selective mating behavior which has maintained their characteristics as a relatively pure subpopulation. Blood samples were obtained from 82 unrelated volunteers from 11 different cities of Espirito Santo State, where there are the Pomeranian's descendants. All 15 loci analyzed showed Power of Discrimination (PD) values > 0.75. Except the TPOX locus, all analyzed loci were at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. This subpopulation has not yet been characterized for STR allelic frequencies used for forensic and genetic identification studies.
本研究报告了包含在 PowerPlex(®)16 试剂盒中的 15 个常染色体短串联重复（STR）基因座的等位基因频率和其他群体数据，这些基因座在巴西圣埃斯皮里图州（ES）的波美拉尼亚人后裔中进行了分析，该州是世界上波美拉尼亚人后裔的第三大群体。他们选择了该州的山区作为他们偏爱的地理位置，并且他们有着非常独特的生活方式，选择性交配行为保持了他们作为一个相对纯净亚群体的特征。从圣埃斯皮里图州的 11 个不同城市的 82 名无关志愿者中获得了血液样本，这些城市都有波美拉尼亚人后裔。分析的所有 15 个基因座的辨别力（PD）值均>0.75。除了 TPOX 基因座外，所有分析的基因座均处于哈迪-温伯格平衡状态。这个亚群体尚未对用于法医和遗传鉴定研究的 STR 等位基因频率进行特征描述。
