Baluchistan is the largest province of Pakistan in terms of area, constituting approximately 44% of the country's total land mass, and the smallest in terms of population, being home to less than 5% of the country's population. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) formerly called North-West Frontier Province is located in the north-west of Pakistan having an estimated 13.4% of total population of Pakistan in which Pakhtuns are the major ethnic group. A total of 250 samples from Baluchi population and 250 samples from Pakhtun population were typed for 9 X-chromosomal STR markers: DXS101, DXS6789, DXS7132, DXS7423, DXS7424, DXS8378, GATA31E08, GATA172D05 and HPRTB along with sex typing locus, Amelogenin. A total of 59 alleles were found in Baluchi population while 61 alleles were found in Pakhtun population. This is the first study of the two populations based on these markers and the population data can be used as reference database for Baluchi and Pakhtun populations.
俾路支省是巴基斯坦面积最大的省份，约占该国陆地总面积的44%，但人口最少，不到该国总人口的5%。开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省（KPK），前身为西北边境省，位于巴基斯坦西北部，约占巴基斯坦总人口的13.4%，其中普什图人是主要民族。对来自俾路支族人群的250个样本和来自普什图族人群的250个样本进行了9个X染色体STR标记的分型：DXS101、DXS6789、DXS7132、DXS7423、DXS7424、DXS8378、GATA31E08、GATA172D05和HPRTB，同时还包括性别分型位点牙釉蛋白（Amelogenin）。俾路支族人群中共发现59个等位基因，普什图族人群中共发现61个等位基因。这是基于这些标记对这两个人群进行的首次研究，该人群数据可作为俾路支族和普什图族人群的参考数据库。
