Forensic parameters and allele frequency distributions of 16 STR in a Paraguayan population

Tamara Soledad Frontanilla et al. Int J Legal Med. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

Paraguay is a Latin American country located in the central zone of South America. There is no official data on the ethnic composition of its population. The European colonization and the wars through which the country crossed were fundamental for its current genetic composition. Here, we analyzed sixteen short tandem repeats (STRs) used in the CODIS system in 259 Paraguayan individuals.

Keywords: Gene frequency; Genetic loci; Microsatellite repeats; Paraguay.
