Abstract
A set of autosomal single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci was analyzed using the
52-plex assay previously described by Sanchez et al. [J.J. Sanchez, C. Phillips, C.
Borsting, K. Balogh, M. Bogus, M. Fondevila, C.D. Harrison, E. Musgrave-Brown, A.
Salas, D. Syndercombe-Court, P.M. Schneider, A. Carracedo, N. Morling, A multiplex
assay with 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms for human identification, Electrophoresis
27 (2006) 1713–1724] in 140 samples of unrelated individuals born in the Colombian
regions of, Risaralda, Caldas, Quindio, Antioquia, Tolima and Valle, and 164 samples
of unrelated individuals with declared Native American ancestry from Colombia. Allele
frequencies and statistical parameters of forensic interest are presented for the
52 SNPs. All loci were in agreement with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium while comparisons
with population samples of Argentina, Portugal, Spain, Mozambique, and Taiwan revealed
significant differences in allele frequency distributions.
