Abstract
The allelic distribution of seventeen short tandem repeat (STR) loci, together with
some parameters of forensic interest were estimated from a sample set of unrelated
healthy individuals from six provinces in Argentina (Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa
Fe, Salta, Entre Ríos and Chaco). All loci of the sample were in agreement with Hardy–Weinberg
equilibrium, after Bonferroni correction. The combined discrimination power for these
17 STRs was 0.999999999999999999997, whereas the combined probability of exclusion
was 0.99999993. Furthermore, this population was compared to other previously published
samples from Argentina, showing significant values in the population differentiation
tests.
