1. Introduction The AmpF‘STR1 NGMTM PCR Amplification Kit simultaneously amplifies the 10 SGM Plus1 Kit loci together with the 5 recommended loci (D10S1248, D22S1045, D2S441, D1S1656 and D12S391). The purpose of this work was to establish frequencies and population statistic parameters for Central Portugal population using NGM amplification kit as well as carry out a comparative study with other population groups.
Arlequin software v3.0 [2] was used to calculate allele frequencies as well as to assess departures from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Other relevant forensic parameters were determined using PowerStat v1.2 [3]. Genetic distances between central Portugal and populations from Spain [4], Austria [5], Galicia (Spain) [6], Turkey [7], Southern Italy [8], Poland [9] and North Portugal [10] were calculated with PHYLIP [11] and p-values from locus to locus comparations with GENEPOP [12]. 3. Results and discussion
2. Materials and methods DNA was extracted from buccal swabs by Chelex 100 method [1] from 150 healthy unrelated individuals from Central Portugal, involved in paternity testing after consent. PCR amplifications were performed using the AmpFlSTR NGM Amplification kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. The electrophoresis was carried out on ABI PRISMTM 3130 Genetic Analyser and data analysis and allele calling was done using GeneMapper V3.2 analysis software.

Table 1 contains allelic frequencies and forensic parameters for all studied markers. No significant deviations from Hardy– Weinberg equilibrium were observed (p < 0.05), except for D2S441. For the 15 loci, the combined power of discrimination was higher than 0.999999 and the combined probability of exclusion was 0.9999995. The high values reflect the forensic value of the used markers. The p-values from locus to locus comparations between Central Portugal population and the other populations highlight the significant differences in one of the 15 loci (vWA) in the Spanish population, in two of the 15 loci (D21D11 and vWA) in the Austrian population, in three of the 15 loci (D3S1358, D19S433 and vWA) in the Galicia population, in eight of the 15 loci (TH01, D16S539, D19S433, D18S51, FGA, D1S1656, D22S1045 and D2S441) in the Turkey population, in five of the 15 loci (TH01, D18S51, D1S1656, D12S391 and D2S441) in the Italy population, in eight of the 15 loci

(D21S11, D3S1358, TH01, D19S433, D18S51, D1S1656, D10S1248 and D2S441) in the Polish population and in four of the 15 loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D3S1358 and D16S539) in the North Portugal population. According to genetic differences between all population pairs Turkish and Polish population groups are more distant from Central Portuguese population than the other population compared in this study. This study reveals the usefulness of NGM STR markers, which can be seen in the high values obtained for the forensic parameters, namely the combined power of discrimination and combined probability of exclusion, making this set of markers a powerful tool for forensic analysis. The Central Portuguese population is similar to other European populations compared. Funding No funding. Conflict of interest None.
