Abstract
Fifteen autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) markers (D3S1358, HUMTH01, D21S11, D18S51,
Penta E, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta D, HUMvWA, D8S1179, HUMTPOX
and FGA) were analyzed in more than 400 unrelated individuals from nine different
areas of Italy. After Bonferroni correction, no evidence of population structure was
identified, either by considering each population as independent or by combining populations
according to their geographic origin (North, Central and South of Italy). Forensic
indexes were estimated considering all samples together. Combined power of discrimination
(PD) and combined power of exclusion (PE) for the 15 tested STR loci were 0.9999999997
and 0.964708775, respectively. Low genetic distances were found between our data and
those previously published for other neighboring European populations.
