Genetic Analysis of 27 Y-STR Haplotypes in 11 Iranian Ethnic Groups

CONCLUSION: The AMOVA analysis results explain that the close distance of Azeris and Turkmens may be the effect of male-dominant expansions across Central Asia that contributed to historical and demographics of populations in the region. Insignificant differences in network analysis could be the consequence of high mutation events that happened in the Y-STR regions over the years. Considering the ethnic group affiliations in medical research, our results provided an understanding and characterization of Iranian male population for future medical and population genetics studies.PMID:38619031 | DOI:10.34172/aim.2024.13
