Abstract
The aim of this study is to present the distribution of haplotype frequencies for six Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391 and DYS393) in a population sample of 100 Caucasoid unrelated individuals living in Northeast Spain. A total of 73 different haplotypes were observed among which 67 were unique and 6 were found at least two times. The most common haplotype occurred 12 times. The overall discrimination capacity of the six loci haplotypes analysed was 73%, and the gene diversity was 96.88%. This database study is an essential prerequisite for using Y-chromosomal STR in routine practice.
