The multiplex amplification system of three tetrameric short tandem repeats loci (HUMTH01, TPOX and CSF1PO) were studied in Dong-xiang, Hui and Han ethnic groups from northwest China. All loci meet the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium by three tests. The allelic frequency data are statistically similar for three ethnic groups. This is the first time that Chinese Dong-xiang and Hui population data of DNA loci of forensic importance are reported.
