Abstract
In this study, 10 X-STRs: DXS6809, DXS7423, GATA172D05, DXS6789, DXS9902, DXS7132, GATA31E08, DXS7133, DXS9898, and DXS8378 were analyzed in a population sample of the Department of Boyacá- Colombia. A total of 251 individuals not biologically related were analyzed. All loci studied were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the markers presented high levels of discrimination power (DP) in men and women, 0,999996 and 0,9999998 respectively, and a power of exclusion (PE) set higher than 99.9% for both trios (father-mother-daughter) and duos (father-daughter). Finally, genetic distance analysis showed significant differences between this population, Latin American, and Iberian populations. The results of this study suggest these 10 X-STRs markers are suitable to be used in forensic genetics and that Tunja city population of the Department of Boyacá-Colombia is a genetically differentiated population. For this reason, is recommended the development of appropriate databases of genetic markers specifics for this population.
