Abstract
We studied and established a database of 16 Y-STR (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, GATA-A10, GATA-H4 and DYS635) in a population of 77 unrelated males of Perú. Seventy-six different haplotypes were found, seventy-five haplotypes of them were found to be unique and only one was detected in two men. The haplotype diversity was 0.9997 ± 0.0022. By combining the allelic states of the 16 Y-chromosomal STRs, we could construct highly informative haplotypes that allowed the discrimination of 97.4% (76 out of 77) of the samples tested. This approach represents a very powerful tool for individual identification and paternity testing in forensic medicine. © 2006.
