“…The unknown persons could be from various ethnic groups and they are taken to be African-Americans (AA), Caucasians (CA) and/or Chinese (CH). The following allele frequencies are used for the three alleles A 1 , A 2 and A 3 , respectively, AA: 0.0316, 0.0842, 0.0926, CA: 0.0859, 0.0827, 0.1073, and CH: 0.0169, 0.0749, 0.1522 [9,10,11].…”

The effect of a structured population on the likelihood ratio of a DNA mixture has been studied by the current authors and others. In practice, contributors of a DNA mixture may belong to different ethnic/racial origins, a situation especially common in multi-racial countries such as the USA and Singapore. We have developed a computer software which is available on the web for evaluating DNA mixtures in multi-structured populations. The software can deal with various DNA mixture problems that cannot be handled by the methods given in a recent article of Fung and Hu.

In countries with multiple racial or ethnic groups, it is not uncommon that contributors to a mixed stain or a DNA mixture belong to different ethnic origins. This paper derives a general formula for evaluating the likelihood ratio in such situations based on the commonly adopted Recommendation 4.1 of the U.S. Second National Research Council Report on the evaluation of DNA evidence. The restrictive Hardy-Weinberg assumption is not taken in this paper. Our formula generalizes the results of Fung and Hu for a single ethnic group, and of Weir et al. under the Hardy-Weinberg law for a single, and Fukshansky and Bär for multiple ethnic groups. The effect of different ethnic groups of contributors to the interpretation of mixtures is illustrated through the analysis of the Simpson case.
