Allele frequencies of the 15 AmpFlSTR Identifiler loci in the population of Vojvodina Province, Serbia and Montenegro

Abstract

The 15 AmpF lSTR Identifiler loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA) were analyzed in the sample of 100 unrelated, autochthonous healthy adult Serbians from Novi Sad (Vojvodina Province, Serbia and Montenegro). The agreement with HWE was confirmed for all loci with the exception of D7S820 (based on the chi2-test only). The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined power of exclusion (PE) for the 15 tested STR loci were 0.99999999999999995 and 0.9999990, respectively. According to the presented data, D2S1338 and D18S51 are the most informative markers. Based on allelic frequencies and statistical parameters for forensic testing, it may be suggested that the AmpF lSTR Identifiler detection system represents a powerful strategy for individual identification and parentage analysis in the Serbian population.

Population Data for 15 Short Tandem Repeat Loci from Wallachia Region, South Romania

“…There were no significant differences between the population from Wallachia and Croatia (11) or Serbia (12), which means that Wallachia region is genetically more similar to Croatia and Serbia than to Greece, Turkey, Italy, Hungary, Belarus, and Poland population according to 15 analyzed STR loci. Difference between the Walachian region and Bucharest area can be a consequence of the high population heterogeneity, which in generally characterizes the metropolitan areas.…”

Characterisation of three Amerindian populations from Hidalgo State (Mexico) by 15 STR-PCR polymorphisms

“…Some authors have emphasised the forensic interest in studying the genetic profile of native populations [3,4]. The aim of this study is to broaden the knowledge on the population genetics of Amerindian.…”

Bosnian population data for the 15 STR loci in the Power Plex 16 kit

“…The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined power of exclusion (PE) for the 15 studied loci were 0.999999999999999997 and 0.999999, respectively. Table 2 lists interpopulation comparisons between Bosnians and three other populations from the west Balkan peninsula -Croatians [8], Kosovo Albanians [8] and Serbians [9]. Locus by locus AMOVA did not show any statistically significant differences between populations from Bosnia and Croatia, whereas statistically significant differences were observed between populations from Bosnia and Kosovo with respect to the three loci TPOX, CSF1PO and D13S317 and between Bosnia and Serbia with respect to one locus, D13S317.…”
