Abstract
17 Y-chromosome STR loci (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS456, DYS391, DYS392,
DYS393, DYS385 a/b, DYS458, DYS439, DYS635, GATA H4.1, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS448)
were determined for 303 unrelated males, living in Central Portugal, using the AmpFlSTR® YFiler™ PCR Amplification kit (Applied Biosystems). A total of 287 different haplotypes
were found, 272 being unique. The overall haplotype diversity (HD) was determined
as 0.9996, a value similar to other YFiler data sets. Y-STR polymorphisms in Central
Portugal population, using YFiler, provide a powerful discrimination tool for routine
forensic applications.
