Abstract
Allele frequencies of twelve short tandem repeat (STR) loci, CSF1PO, TPOX, TH01, F13A01, FESFPS, vWA, D16S539, D7S820, D13S317, D5S818, F13B and LPL, were determined over six major regional groups in the Argentinean province of Entre Ríos. No deviation was observed in the total population analysed or in the subpopulation for all loci. Neither was there any evidence of allele correlation between loci. The combined matching probability and the combined mean exclusion chance in the Entre Ríos population were 2.44×10−13 and 0.99993, respectively. Frequencies, statistical parameters and phylogenetic inference based on distance matrix for all the population groups are provided. We analysed allele frequency distribution by Pairwise FST Genetic Distance to construct a tree based on the Neighbour-Joining method, and obtained one that coincides well with their geographical distribution. This study demonstrates that these loci are a useful and handy tool for forensic identification and parentage testing in this Argentinean province.
