Analysis of paternal lineages legacy in salta province, northwestern argentina

Seventeen Y-STRs included in the AmpFlSTR ® Yfiler® PCR Amplification Kit were studied for 174 individuals from Salta province (northwest of Argentina). A total of 166 different haplotypes were identified. The Haplotype Diversity (HD) was 0.9992 and the Discrimination capacity (DC) was 95.4%. The high efficiency in forensic parameters dem onstrates that this set of markers provides a powerful tool in forensic casework in Salta population. Haplogroup composition reflects the Amerindian and European legacy of this population together with a minor African contribution.
