Evaluation of diallelic STR markers with inter-population allelic database for their usefulness in paternity trios in the Central Indian population

Most of the forensic DNA laboratories have migrated to new generation STR kits of 6 dye chemistry with more than 20 autosomal STRs. The population-specific databases of such STR markers are lacking in many regions. To evaluate the effect of the inter-population database in 100 paternity trios with no inconsistencies at 23 STRs. 100 paternity trios were evaluated considering inter-population allelic frequency values for calculation of Combined Paternity Index (CPI) and Probability of Paternity (POP). No significant variation (<i>p</i> p p p The allelic database showed no effect on the CPI and POP in 100 paternity trios. This suggests no urgent need for using population-specific databases for statistical evaluation of paternity trios without inconsistencies.
