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.

    Citation Excerpt :

    In the past this region was conquered by Greeks, Romans, Tatars, Turks and Slavs for its economic and strategic value [4]. At present the information concerning the genetic variation of Romanians from the perspective of autosomal markers has shown that the dominant influences were Slavic, Italian, Greek and Turkish [5], while genetic studies made on Y-STR markers suggest that the Slavic influences were dominant [6]. From a mitochondrial DNA perspective, the Romanian maternal lineages were investigated in order to provide an insight into understanding the genetic structure of the Balkans [7].

  • Patterns of Y-STR variation in Italy

    2012, Forensic Science International: Genetics
    Citation Excerpt :

    The most common haplotype was 14–13–16–24–11–13–13 with frequencies of 15.5%, 7.4% 6.4%, 3.5% and 2.2%, in Central Liguria, West Calabria, Central Campania, Sicily and South Apulia populations, respectively. A total of 2,990 Yfiler (17 Y-STR) and 15,032 minimal haplotype (7 Y-STRs) profiles were collected from the literature [2,4,5,15,16,26,27,29,38,39,41,58–74] (see Table S1). AMOVA was performed following different grouping schemes in order to investigate the distribution of variance in Italy but also in an European context.
