“…For better graphically visualization of Y-STR variability between central Croatia and neighboring countries we used MDS plot based on Rst values. Our data showed a close relationship between the central Croatian population to the Croatian capital of Zagreb and Bosnia and Herzegovina with an elevated distance from Slovenia and Austria [13,[25][26][27][28]. This study confirmed that Y-chromosome haplotypes showed significant geographic differentiation on the European level due to population dynamics and historical events.…”

In forensic casework, Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) haplotyping is used in human identification, paternity testing and sexual assault cases where Y-STRs provide a male-specific DNA profile. The aim of this study was to describe the genetic structure of Y chromosome in a central Croatian population. We carried out a statistical analysis of the data from previously performed genetic analyses collected during routine forensic work by the Forensic Science Centre "Ivan Vučetić". A total of 220 unrelated healthy men from central Croatia were selected for the purpose of this study. Genomic DNA was extracted using a Chelex procedure from FTA(®) cards. Y-chromosomal STRs were determined using the AmpFISTR Yfiler PCR amplification kit. The haplotype frequencies were determined by direct counting and analyzed using Arlequin 3.1 and analysis of molecular variance calculated with the Y chromosome haplotype reference database online analysis tool. A total of 212 haplotypes were identified, 204 of which were unique. Total haplotype diversity was 0.993. Locus diversity varied from 0.325 for DYS392 to 0.786 for DYS385. Discrimination capacity was 92.7%. Allele frequencies diversity was 0.615. Intermediate alleles 17.2, 18.2 and 19.2 were found at DYS458 locus. A comparison with published data for the European minimal haplotype set showed the closest relationship to the Croatian capital of Zagreb and Bosnia and Herzegovina with significant genetic distance from Slovenia and Austria. The central Croatian population is now well characterized in terms of Y-chromosome STRs, thus providing a solid basis for further forensic and genetic epidemiology studies.

“…These differences were also previously reported by Croatians [8]. At loci DYS385, the most common genotype in studied sample is 14-15 (0.173), while the genotype 11-14 is the most frequent in other European populations [7,[9][10][11][12]. [7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…The discrimination index in analyzed sample, using all loci, was 0.99 and the discrimination capacity was 73.42%. In searching the Y STR Haplotype AMOVA was carried out among our population sample, Western Croatians [9], Slovenians [12], Bosnians [14] and Serbians [15] with respect to haplotype system based on nine loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393). Average F-statistics (F st = 7.69%, P = 0.00000) showed that all five populations are significantly heterogeneous.…”

“…The most informative Y-STR in terms of gene diversity was the DYS385 locus (0.878) and the least informative was the DYS393 (0.435). Our population data were compared with that previously published for Belarus (www.yhrd.org), Ukraine (www.yhrd.org), the Czech Republic (www.yhrd.org), Poland (Ploski et al, 2002), the Russian Federation (Rosser et al, 2000), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Marjanovic et al, 2005), Croatia (Roewer et al, 2005) and Slovenia (Sterlinko et al, 2001) for the same set of 9 Y-STR (DYS391, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS19, DYS392, DYS393, DYS390, DYS385). The pairwise analysis based on Φ st values is shown in Table 2.…”

Historic and linguistic records indicate that Slovaks belong to the Slavic population. We performed a population genetic study on 250 unrelated Slovak males, who were typed for 12 Y-short tandem repeats (STRs) (DYS391, DYS389I, DYS439, DYS389II, DYS438, DYS437, DYS19, DYS392, DYS393, DYS390, DYS385a/b). The corresponding Y-haplogroups were deduced using Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor. The most common haplogroup R1a is presented by 38% of individuals. The next two haplogroups (I2a and R1b) are presented at frequencies higher than 10%, 9 haplogroups range from 1 to 10% and 3 haplogroups are presented at frequencies lower than 1%. The obtained results show that a significant majority of the Slovak paternal gene pool belongs to Eastern European Ylineages and indicate the Slavic origin. Pairwise analysis confirmed that our population is more similar to the surrounding populations, and less similar to those of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
