GENETIC ANALYSIS OF 12 X-CHROMOSOMAL STRs AN AUTOCHTHONOUS POPULATION OF SOUTHEAST SPAIN

The analysis of X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) is a valuable tool as well as a useful complement to the study of autosomal and Y chromosome STRs in complex kinship cases due to the particular inheritance of the X chromosome.Currently it is necessary to expand the study of a greater number of X-STRs, and know their population characteristics, for better forensic purposes.The allelic frequencies and further population forensic genetic parameters were studied in 12 X-Chromosome STRs loci included in the InvestigatorTM Argus X-12 Kit.
