Expanding the Swiss autosomal marker set to 32 STRs

By genotyping 1198 individuals with the Qiagen Investigator (R) HDplex Kit, we expand the Swiss autosomal STR dataset to 32 loci, providing additional resources for complex kinship cases. We present the first high-quality allele frequency dataset for loci D2S1360, D5S2500, D7S1517, and D10S2325 that will be accessible through the ENFSI reference database STRidER. For loci D3S1744, D4S2366, D6S474, D8S1132, and D21S2055, we provide a first European STRidER dataset.

Automated summary

The research expanded the Swiss autosomal STR dataset to 32 loci by genotyping 1198 individuals using the Qiagen Investigator (R) HDplex Kit, providing additional resources for complex kinship cases. The study also presented high-quality allele frequency datasets for several loci that will be accessible through the ENFSI reference database STRidER.
