Genetic polymorphism of 27 X-chromosomal short tandem repeats in an Egyptian population

Twenty Years Later: A Comprehensive Review of the X Chromosome Use in Forensic Genetics

“…In Figure 2B, it is possible to observe that the number of X-STRs analyzed is highly variable among publications with some studies genotyping a high number of X-STRs (e.g., Liu et al, 2013;Fukuta et al, 2019) and others genotyping a reduced number of loci (e.g., Watanabe et al, 2000;Koyama et al, 2002;Carvalho and Pinheiro, 2011). The number of markers included in each study varied from 1 to 27.…”

Genetic insight into Nigerian population groups using an X-chromosome decaplex system

“…To allow for a more specific comparison between populations, both on a geographical and ethno-linguistically level, genetic distances were analyzed between the three ethnic groups of Nigeria (Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) and other African population samples for which frequency data are published. For the studies with data regarding markers overlapping with this work (Appendix D), the following populations were selected, namely, Angola and Mozambique (Gomes et al, 2007), Algeria (Bekada et al, 2010), Ivory Coast (Pasino et al, 2011), Egypt (Fukuta et al, 2019), Ghana (Poetsch et al, 2009), Guinea-Bissau (Gomes et al, 2017), Morocco (Laouina et al, 2013), Tunisia (Messoussi et al, 2019) and Uganda (Gomes et al, 2009b). Results obtained in the comparisons of other African population countries with Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba were made with estimations using single locus genetic distances, namely the FST measure and applying the Bonferroni's correction of the significance level (Tables 20a-c).…”
