      In the present communication, twenty-four short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D3S1358, D1S1656, D2S441, D10S1248, D13S317, Penta E, D16S539, D18S51, D2S1338, CSF1PO, Penta D, TH01, vWA, D21S11, D7S820, D5S818, TPOX, DYS391, D8S1179, D12S391, D19S433, FGA, D22S1045 and D6S1043) were analyzed using the commercially available Powerplex® Fusion System and Powerplex® 21 System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) from a population sample of unrelated healthy Mexican mestizo individuals living in Mexico D.F. Further studies have characterized the Mestizo population from Mexico D.F. [
