Kohistani Population STR Allele Frequencies and Genetic Distances

21 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci provide allele frequency distributions for the Kohistani population from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. The dataset includes Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium test results with Bonferroni corrections, as well as pairwise Fst genetic distances comparing this population to 26 worldwide reference groups from the 1000 Genomes Project. This genetic data supports forensic and anthropological studies of population structure and history.

Use Cases

• Establishing forensic DNA reference databases for the Kohistani population based on allele frequencies at 21 STR loci.
• Assessing genetic differentiation between the Kohistani population and 26 global populations using pairwise Fst distances.
• Testing for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium in a specific population sample with corrected p-values.
• Investigating population history and genetic relationships within South Asia and globally.

Strengths

• Includes data for 21 standard forensic STR loci, a core panel for human identification.
• Provides comparative genetic distance analysis against 26 reference populations from the 1000 Genomes Project.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are not provided in the available metadata, limiting precise understanding of the data structure.
• The 'last updated' date of 2026-03-21 appears to be a future date, which is anomalous and suggests a potential metadata error.
