Abstract
Seventeen autosomal STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317,
D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, Penta E and Penta D) and
16 Y-STR haplotype loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS398II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392,
DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA H4.1) were
analyzed in the sample of 200 unrelated Croatians. The agreement with HWE was confirmed
for all autosomal STR loci. The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined
power of exclusion (PE) for the 17 autosomal STR loci were 0.999999999999999999682299331476
and 0.99999995, respectively. Penta E proved to be the most informative autosomal
STR locus. Among 200 Croatian males, 197 Y-STR haplotypes were identified and haplotype
diversity was estimated at 0.9998 ± 0.0005.
