Abstract
A population sample of 223 Greek individuals was typed for five sets of forensic genetic markers with the kits NGM SElect™, SNPforID 49plex, DIPplex®, Argus X-12 and PowerPlex® Y23. No significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg expectations was observed for any of the studied markers after Holm–Šidák correction. Statistically significant (P<0.05) levels of linkage disequilibrium were observed between markers within two of the studied X-chromosome linkage groups. AMOVA analyses of the five sets of markers did not show population structure when the individuals were grouped according to their geographic origin. The Greek population grouped closely to the other European populations measured by FST* distances. The match probability ranged from a value of 1 in 2×107 males by using haplotype frequencies of four X-chromosome haplogroups in males to 1 in 1.73×1021 individuals for 16 autosomal STRs.
