Genetic polymorphisms of 15 AmpFlSTR identifiler loci in Romani population from Northwestern Croatia

The 15 AmpFlSTR identifiler PCR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA) were analyzed in the sample of 100 unrelated Romani individuals from Northwestern Croatia. The agreement with HWE was confirmed for all loci. The combined power of discrimination (PD) and the combined power of exclusion (PE) for the 15 studied loci were 0.9999999999999996243580692 and 0.999990752, respectively. According to the presented data, D2S1338 proved to be the most informative marker. Population comparisons revealed significantly different F(ST) values for all analyzed population pairs.
