“…Y-chromosome analysis was performed on 11 commonly used short tandem repeats (STRs): DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385A, DYS385B, DYS438, and DYS439, available in the Y-PLEX 12 Kit from ReliaGene Technologies Inc. (Rubicz et al 2010). The following single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), defining Y-chromosome haplogroups, were characterized for the male samples: P39 (haplogroup C), P2 (haplogroup E), M170 (haplogroup I), 12f2 (haplogroup J), M231 (haplogroup N), P36 (haplogroup Q), and M269 and SRY 10381b (haplogroup R).…”
