Abstract
Haplotype frequencies for 6 Y-STRs (DYS522, DYS533, DYS549, DYS570, DYS576 and DYS643)
were determined in 539 unrelated Korean males. A total of 375 haplotypes were observed
with the overall haplotype diversity of 0.9967. In DYS570, we found new point-3 microvariant
allele series, i.e., 18.3, 19.3 and 20.3. DNA sequence analysis showed that the full
repeat sequences were [TTTC]nttc[TTTC]5. Duplicated DYS643 allele was found and discussed on its forensic impact on the Y-STR
interpretation of male–male mixtures. In 140 confirmed father/son pairs, one mutation
was found in DYS576 with the overall mutation rate of 1.10 × 10−3/locus/generation (95% CI 0.31–1.89 × 10−3).
