Genetic polymorphisms of 30 insertion/deletion markers in the populations of Japan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia

Population studies of 30 insertion/deletion (INDEL) markers were conducted using the Investigator ® DIPplex kit (Qiagen) in 197, 80, and 78 unrelated individuals from Japan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, respectively. No significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were observed for all but three INDEL markers: two markers in the Japanese samples and one marker in the Bangladeshi and I ndonesian samples. The combined power of discrimination values for the 30 INDEL markers in the Japanese, Bangladeshi, and Indonesian populations were 0.999999999983, 0.999999999999, and 0.999999999937, respectively.
