Abstract

Allele and haplotype frequencies for 7 Y-specific STR loci (DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393) had been determined in a sample of 107 unrelated males living in Cantabria, a region in northern Spain, by means of two multiplex PCRs.

    Citation Excerpt :

    In order to examine the relationship between the Italian and other neighboring populations, RST genetic distances were used to generate multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plots using the software Statistica 7 (http://www.statsoft.com). MDS was undertaken using additional data from other European populations [2,4–6,8,11,13,15,16,26–54]; the minimal haplotype recommended by the YHRD but excluding the system DYS385ab (DYS19, DYS389 I, DYS389 II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393) [55,56] was used. For some analysis, population samples were clustered into main national regions, considering North Italy the region located North of the Po river, South the region located South of Latina city, and Central, the populations located in between North and South Italy.

  • Allele frequencies and population data for 17 Y-STR loci (The AmpFlSTR <sup>®</sup> Y-filer™) in Casablanca resident population

    2011, Forensic Science International: Genetics
    Citation Excerpt :

    The most common haplotype detected in Casablanca population was found in one individual among 70 from Assiut (Egypt) [7], in three individual among 102 in Oran (Algeria) [8], and three Moroccans and seven Tunisians among 60 Moroccans and Tunisians living in Italy [9]. We have compared our data by means of AMOVA calculations using Slatkin linearized RST [10] for the same set of Y-STR loci with previous published populations from various racial clusters: European populations data (namely Spain [11–15], Poland [16], Germany [17]), North African populations (Egypt [7], Algeria [8], Tunisia [9]), SubSaharian population (Uganda [18]) and Afro-Americans from USA [19,20], also Asian populations (Japan [21], China [22]). Results showed that our population is more closed to North-African populations such as Algeria (RST = 0.0155), Tunisia (RST = 0.0334) and Egypt (RST = 0.0859), being more distant from the European cluster, such as Spain (RST = 0.2746), Poland (RST = 0.2941), Germany (RST = 0.2435), Brazil (RST = 0.2197).
