Haplotype data for 23 Y-chromosome markers in a reference sample from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract: AimTo detect polymorphisms of 23 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci, including 6 new loci, in a reference database of male population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as to assess the importance of increasing the number of Y-STR loci utilized in forensic DNA analysis.MethodsThe reference sample consisted of 100 healthy, unrelated men originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sample collection using buccal swabs was performed in all geographical regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 20… Show more

“…We would therefore consider the OL a DYS481 variant running in the DYS391 locus and define it as allele 15 (table 1). Although the allele 15 is not a first OL variant observed for the DYS481 [13,15] , it is a rare short allele ever reported for this locus. We are currently embarking on sequencing this allele and the result would be presented together with those for other OL alleles observed in our group in a separate report.…”

“…In order to achieve a balanced distribution of participants’ demographic characteristics we included participants of both sexes, different age groups, and originating from different parts of the country as assessed by the origin of their grandparents. The size of the study population was determined according to previous population studies conducted in B&H (15,16) and was affected by financial constraints. Before agreeing to participate in the study, all participants signed the informed consent for study participation and data publication.…”

“…Y-STRs are characterized by male inheritance pattern. (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) Thus, Y-STRs can be used in forensics for the investigation of sexual assault cases, This kit types 23 Y-STR loci in a tested haplotype and includes 6 new Y-STR loci when compared to the previous Y-STR commercial kits, namely DYS576, DYS481, DYS549, DYS533, DYS570, and DYS643 (12,13).…”
