Analysis of 16 Y-STRs in a sample of Colombian males

We studied and stablished a data base of 16 Y-STR (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, GATA-A10, GATA-H4 and DYS635) in 133 unrelated Colombian males. The haplotype diversity was 0.9997 ± 0.0010. One hundred thirty one different haplotyp...

Description
Summary:We studied and stablished a data base of 16 Y-STR (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, GATA-A10, GATA-H4 and DYS635) in 133 unrelated Colombian males. The haplotype diversity was 0.9997 ± 0.0010. One hundred thirty one different haplotypes were found and only one was found three times. Good allelic representation in all the systems was observed, between 3 and 7 alleles, with the exception of the DYS385 with 35 allelic classes. DYS385 displayed the greater genic diversity (0.9012), whereas the system that displayed the smaller (0.4570) was the DYS393. This approach represents a very powerful tool for individual identification and paternity testing in forensic genetic.
