Allele frequencies for 15 short tandem repeat loci in a representative sample of Bosnians and Herzegovinians

Allelic frequencies of the 15 STR loci included in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler™ PCR Amplification Kit in an autochthonous sample from Spain

“…The D7S820*9.2 variant has a very low frequency in population databases: until November 20, 2006 only two observations were found in the NIST STRBase web site (http://www.cstl.nist.gov/ div831/strbase/), one of them corresponding to a cell line, and none in the STRBase of the University of Düsseldorf (http:// www.uni-duesseldorf.de/WWW/MedFak/Serology/database.html). The FGA*16 allele was also described in Berbers [14] and individuals from Bosnia and Herzegovina [15]. In addition, it is noteworthy that we have found the allele CSF1PO*6 in an individual from the País Vasco.…”

Population genetics of 15 AmpflSTR Identifiler loci in Macedonians and Macedonian Romani (Gypsy)

“…The observed allele frequencies and statistical parameters for forensic testing based on the 15 AmpFlSTR Identifiler loci in Macedonian and Macedonian Romani populations are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 Observed allele frequencies and statistical parameters for forensic testing at the 15 Similar population studies were reported for most populations in the area [8][9][10][11][12][13] and in this study we have performed interpopulation comparisons between Macedonians and Macedonian Romani and four Balkan populations: Kosovo Albanians [8], Serbians (Vojvodina Province) [9], western Romanians [10] and northern Greeks [11]. We have also done comparison of Macedonian Romani, as an example of population of Asian (Indian) origin [14][15][16], with population from Assam (India) [17].…”

Most recent investigation of peopling of Bosnia and Herzegovina: DNA approach

“…The results of these analyses would facilitate the precise reconstruction of regional migration patterns. Preliminary results based on the observation of 100 males from Bosnia and Herzegovina, have already yielded interesting results (Marjanovi≤ et al 2006). Eighty-one different Y-STR haplotypes (from a total number of 100 samples obtained) were detected: 69 of them were unique, 7 appeared twice, 4 appeared three times, and 1 five times.…”

“…Following analysis of STR marker variation, autosomal (Marjanovi≤ et al 2006), and Y-chromosome markers (Marjanovi≤ et al 2005a) were studied in order to establish a reference sample and to incorporate data about the molecular biodiversity found in BiH in a regional database (REBID-a).…”
