Abstract
A total of 272 males from Greenland were typed for 11 Y-chromosome STRs DYS19, DYS385a/b,
DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS439 with
the PowerPlex® Y System (Promega). A total of 146 different haplotypes were observed and the haplotype
diversity was 0.9887. The number of haplotypes seen once was 108 and the most common
haplotype was observed in 12 males. A significant FST value was observed (FST = 0.012, P < 0.00001) when comparing the population of 15 locations in Greenland assigned to 7
groups. The significance could mainly be attributed to the subpopulation of males
from Tasiilaq (East of Greenland). The RST value was not statistically significant (RST = 0.016, P = 0.15).
