The allele distributions at the 12 short tandem repeat (STR) loci D3S1358, HUMvWA, HUMFIBRA/FGA, HUMTHO1, HUMTPOX, HUMCSF1P0, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D8S1179, D21S11 and D18S51 have been determined for 284 unrelated Chinese in Hong Kong. The combined probability of identity for the 12 STR loci was about 4.1 x 10(-14) and the overall probability of excluding paternity 0.999978. None of the 12 loci were found to deviate from Hardy-Weinberg expectations according to the results of the exact test. There was also little evidence for association of alleles between loci. The results demonstrate that the loci are useful for forensic human identification and parentage testing for the Chinese population in Hong Kong.
