Y-chromosome STR haplotypes in a Bangladeshi population

Abstract Allele frequencies and haplotypes for 10 Y-chromosome STR loci, DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS438 and DY439, were determined in 72 unrelated Bangladeshi males using Y-PLEX™5 and Y-PLEX™6 Amplification Kits. This population demonstrated 71 haplotypes, of which 70 were unique. The haplotype diversity calculated from the 10 Y-STR loci was 0.9996 and the discrimination capacity was 0.9861.
