Abstract

Abstract: 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 demonstrates 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.
