Population data of the 16 autosomal STRs loci of the Powerplex ESI 17 System in Sicilian Population (Italy)

Slovenian population data for five new European Standard Set Short tandem repeat loci and SE33 locus

“…Allele frequencies for five new ESS loci and SE33 in Slovenian population did not significantly differ from those in Croatia (10), Czech Republic (11), Belgium (12), Hungary (13), Germany (14,18), Austria (15), Italy (16), and Spain (17,19), and allele frequency distributions for the six loci in most European populations were similar. Slovenian allele frequencies differed only from Spanish (17) and Italian population (16), where deviations were observed only for D2S441 and D12S391.…”

“…When we compared allele frequency distribution in our study with other European population studies, we found deviations from the Spanish population only for the STR loci D2S441 ( P  = 0.0497) and D12S391 ( P  = 0.0217) (17). There was also a deviation from Italian population for D12S391 locus (16) ( P  = 0.0471, Table 1). …”

“…The same software was used for the frequency profile comparisons between Slovenian and other European Caucasian populations. For comparison of ESS loci data we used population data from Croatia (10), Czech Republic (11), Belgium (12), Hungary (13), Germany (14), Austria (15), Italy (16), and Spain (17), and for comparison of SE33 locus data we used population data from Austria (15), Italy (16), Germany (18), and Spain (19). Statistical parameters of forensic interest: matching probability, power of discrimination, polymorphism information content, power of exclusion, and typical paternity index were determined for each locus as indicators of their discrimination potential in human identification and paternity analysis applications using the PowerStats, version 12 (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA).…”

“…Some European population studies have already investigated the new ESS loci (D10S1248, D22S1045, D2S441, D1S1656, D12S391) and we compared Slovenian allele frequencies with them (10-17). Beside the analysis of 5 new ESS loci we also analyzed SE33 locus and compared allele frequencies with Austrian (15), Italian (16), German (18), and Spanish population (19). …”

Population data of the GlobalFiler ® Express loci in South Portuguese population

“…Amplified products were separated and detected by capillary electrophoresis in a 3130 Genetic analyzer and data analysis and allele calling was achieved using GeneMapper ® ID-X 1. Allelic frequencies were compared to previously published population data from North [8,9] and Central [10,11] Portugal populations, as well as, others populations, namely, Spanish [12], US Caucasian and African American [13], Korean [14], Lebanese [15], Dutch [16], Austrian [17,18], Swedish [19][20][21] and Italian (Sicilia) [22,23]. Genetic distances between populations can be observed in phylogram presented in Fig.…”
