Population data of 15 autosomal STR markers from Afro-Bolivians of Nor Yungas Province (Bolivia).

Abstract Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for 15 autosomal loci included in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler kit were estimated in a sample of 57 unrelated Afro-descendants from Nor Yungas (Bolivia). Buccal swabs samples were obtained from voluntary donors, after consent was given. All loci were...

Sumario:Abstract Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for 15 autosomal loci included in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler kit were estimated in a sample of 57 unrelated Afro-descendants from Nor Yungas (Bolivia). Buccal swabs samples were obtained from voluntary donors, after consent was given. All loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction. D21S11 was the most informative locus, while the least discriminating locus was D3S1358. The combined power of discrimination and the combined probability of exclusion were >0.99999999 and >0.99997, respectively. The multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot generated by Rst matrix supported that Afro-Bolivians of Nor Yungas preserved a stronger African descent compared to other admixed Latin American populations. These results amplified the Bolivian databases of autosomal STR loci and may provide a useful tool for human identification tests and population genetic studies.
