“…The reason for the two analyses was because of the increased number of markers in the analyzed population and the reduced number of markers in the populations that were available for comparison. The first group of populations selected for comparison with the population of Croatia using the Yfiler™ Plus marker set included: Croatia (n = 507, present study), Slovenia (n = 194, (22)), Belgium (n = 160, (23-26)), Hungary (n = 218, (27-33)), Austria (n =392, (34-38)), Germany (n = 495, (39-49)), Italy (n = 689, (50-67)), North Macedonia (n = 295, (68-71)), Serbia (n = 183, (72-74)), Denmark (n=177, (75)), Ethiopia (n=290, (76)), French Polynesia (n=81), (77, 78)), Ghana (n=584, (79)), India (n=541, (80-98)), Lithuania (n=251, (99-101)), Mexico (n=354, (102-107)), Nigeria (n=337, (108)), Pakistan (n=280, (109-121)), Poland (n=612, (122-130)), Russian Federation (n=958, (131-143)), Saudi Arabia (n=156, (144, 145)), Spain (n=316, (146-164)), Switzerland (n=724, (19, 165, 166)), and United Kingdom (n=115, (167, 168)).…”

Aim: To analyze additional set of Y-Chromosome genetic markers to acquire a more detailed insight into the diversity of the Croatian population. Methods: A total number of 518 Yfiler Plus profiles was genotyped. Allele, haplotype frequencies and haplotype diversity, were calculated using the STRAF software package v2.0.4. Genetic distances were quantified by Rst using AMOVA online tool from the YHRD. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method of phylogenetic tree construction in MEGAX software. Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor v5 was used for additional comparison with selected European populations. Results: The total of 507 haplotypes were used for genetic STR analysis. The interpopulation comparison with the original 27 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Serbian population, and the highest between Croatian and Spanish population. Interpopulation study on 17 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian population, and the highest between Croatian and Irish population. Total of 518 haplotypes were used in the determination of haplogroup diversity. Haplogroup I with its sublineage I2a expressed the highest prevalence. Haplogroup R, with its major sublineage R1a, is the second most abundant in the studied Croatian population, except for the subpopulation of Hvar, where E1b1b is the second most abundant haplogroup. Rare haplogroups also confirmed in this study are L, T and Q. G1 is detected for the very first time in Croatian population. Conclusion: New insight into differences between examined subpopulations of Croatia and their possible (dis)similarities with neighboring abroad populations was notified.

“…Structure analysis. The structure of 38 Middle Eastern [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and 97 African populations [28,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] was investigated using the programme STRUCTURE version 2.3.7 and an admixture model [13,57]. The graph of population Q-matrix was created using Y-STR data from 17 markers across 135 populations (11,305 individuals).…”

The Y-chromosome has been widely used in forensic genetic applications and human population genetic studies due to its uniparental origins. A large database on the Qatari population was created for comparison with other databases from the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, and Africa. We provide a study of 23 Y-STR loci included in PowerPlex Y23 (Promega, USA) that were genotyped to produce haplotypes in 379 unrelated males from Qatar, a country at the crossroads of migration patterns. Overall, the most polymorphic locus provided by the Promega kit was DYS458, with a genetic diversity value of 0.85 and a haplotype diversity of 0.998924. Athey’s Haplogroup Predictor tool was used to predict haplogroups from Y-STR haplotypes in the Qatari population. In a median-joining network, the haplogroup J1 predominance (49%) in Qatar generated a star-like expansion cluster. The graph of population Q-matrix was developed using Y-STR data from 38 Middle Eastern and 97 African populations (11,305 individuals), and it demonstrated a stronger sub-grouping of countries within each ethnic group and showed the effect of Arabs on the indigenous Berbers of North Africa. The estimated migration rate between the Qatari and other Arabian populations was inferred using Bayesian coalescence theory in the Migrate-n program. According to the Gene Flow study, the main migration route was from Yemen to Kuwait through Qatar. Our research, using the PowerPlex Y23 database, shows the importance of gene diversity, as well as regional and social structuring, in determining the utility of demographic and forensic databases.

“…Thus, each country is required to have its own DNA law that clearly specifies sample collection procedures, how long profiles are to be kept on the database, who manages the DNA database, when a particular profile can be included in the database, extent 112 Pierre et al, 2012). Currently Y chromosome STR population data exists for the Ghanaian population (Kofi et al, 2019). However without legislature, this data cannot be used for criminal identification purposes.…”
