Abstract
X-chromosomal STRs have proven to be an efficient complement in some complex paternity or forensic cases. In this work, we report the results obtained from an Ecuadorian men’s sample of ten STR X chromosome markers (DXS8378, DXS9902, DXS7132, DXS9898, DXS6809, DXS6789, DXS7133, GATA172D05, GATA31E08, and DXS7423). We typed 200 unrelated males from 19 provinces of Ecuador. Samples were processed following the recommendations of the GEP-ISFG collaborative study (2008). Our data showed that locus DXS6809 had the highest values of Power of Discrimination (PD) and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) with 0.8051 and 0.7888, respectively. There was no evidence for statistically significant linkage disequilibrium among the loci studied. Decaplex showed to be a powerful tool in kinship and forensic analysis.
