Population data of 17 Y-STR loci from Rio Grande do Sul state (South Brazil)

Genetic analysis of Southern Brazil subjects using the PowerSeq™ AUTO/Y system for short tandem repeat sequencing

“…All data based on length was also compared against previously published CE data on individuals from South Brazil and the results showed similarity and concordance to the published data [9][10][11][12][13]. For the dataset in this study, tests for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) in autosomal loci detected that one locus deviated from expectations: D18S51 (Supplementary Table S3).…”

“…The South region in Brazil, which includes the State of Rio Grande do Sul, is composed of individuals that present a particular and more homogeneous ancestry background when compared to other regions of the country: the majority of subjects with European ancestry (especially Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and German) and a smaller number of individuals with African and Amerindian ancestry [7]. South Brazil population has been typed and analyzed by different forensic lengthbased STR systems [8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, given the growing applications of NGS in the forensic field, and to better understand the genetic variation in forensically relevant STR loci, sequence-based studies should be performed.…”

“…We also compared the Y haplogroup frequencies estimated from the STR haplotypes of 255 individuals from the State of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil ( Schwengber et al , 2009 ), 200 individuals from the State of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil ( Góis et al , 2007 ), 200 individuals from the city of Belém in the State of Pará, northern Brazil ( Palha et al , 2007 ) and 48 individuals from the city of Brasília, Federal District in central-western Brazil ( Grattapaglia et al , 2005 ).…”

Genetic data for D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364, D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045 miniSTR loci from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil

“…Blood samples were collected from 439 subjects who were representable of the seven RS geopolitical regions [2], from the ring finger tip in a FTA card. All participants signed an informed consent.…”
