Abstract
Seventeen Y STR loci were typed in a population sample of 191 unrelated male individuals
from Northern Greece. Haplotypes are presented for the following loci: DYS456, DYS389I,
DYS390, DYS389II, DYS458, DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS393, DYS391, DYS439, DYS635, DYS392,
Y GATA H4, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS448. The overall haplotype diversity was 0.9992.
This database study provides significant additional information for the application
of Y-chromosomal STRs to forensic identification efforts in Greece by nearly doubling
both the number of individuals and the number of Y-loci typed from Greek populations.
These samples have been previously typed for autosomal STRs [L. Kovatsi, T.J. Parsons,
R.S. Just, J.A. Irwin, Genetic variation for 15 autosomal STR loci (PowerPlex 16)
in a population sample from northern Greece, Forensic Sci. Int. 159 (2006) 61–63]
and the mitochondrial DNA control region [J. Irwin, J. Saunier, K. Strouss, C. Paintner,
T. Diegoli, K. Sturk, L. Kovatsi, A. Brandstatter, M.A. Cariolou, W. Parson, T.J.
