Abstract

Haplotypes and allele frequencies for 17 STR loci included in AmpFlSTR YFiler kit (DYS456, DYS389I, DYS390, DYS389II, DYS458, DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS393, DYS391, DYS439, DYS635, DYS392, Y GATAH4, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS448) were determined in a sample of 122 unrelated males living in the South-East Romania. Genetic distances had been calculated and dendrograms had been generated for South-East Romanian population and other eighteen surrounding populations.
