Abstract
Allele frequencies for 15 short tandem repeats (STR) loci were determined with a sample
of 3000 unrelated individuals from the population of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil.
The loci are most commonly used in forensic and paternity testing, being analyzed
by the Powerplex 16 (Promega) commercial kit. The data shows that most polymorphic
loci were Penta E and FGA. The distributions of the genotypes in the evaluated loci
are in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Comparative analyses between our population data
and other Brazilian populations are presented. The calculated forensic parameters
showed that the loci are useful for the solution of forensic problems in Brazilian
Southern region.
