Abstract
This study is an attempt to generate genetic database for endogamous population of Rajputs of Delhi, India. Genetic polymorphism at eleven Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci (F13A01, FESFPS, vWA, D16S539, D7S820, D13S317, HPRTB, F13B, CSF1PO, TH01 and TPOX) was examined in 87 unrelated Rajputs individuals to evaluate their significance in human identification. There was no evidence for departures from HWE (P>0.001) at all loci except locus HPRTB. All the loci showed high polymorphism with great power of exclusion. The combined matching probability (MP) of the eleven STR system was 1.965 x 10-11, indicating that the system has a much stronger inter-individual discriminating power. The eleven loci showed a combined power of discrimination (PD) of 0.999999. The data suggests that these loci are useful for identity testing, forensics and for solving paternity cases among the Rajput population in Delhi, India.
