Abstract Allele frequencies for the nine STRs included in the AmpFlSTR Pro®ler Plus kit (D3S1358, VWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820) were estimated from a sample of 365±427 unrelated individuals born in north Portugal. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Short tandem repeats; Population data; AmpFlSTR Pro®ler Plus; North Portugal
Population: Unrelated healthy donors from Portuguese districts located north to Douro river. DNA extraction: Chelex method. PCR: according to manufacturer's instructions (AmpFlSTR Pro®ler Plus PCR ampli®cation kit, PE Applied Biosystems). Typing: ABI377, ABI310 and reference sequenced ladders (PE Applied Biosystems). Results: See Table 1. Quality control: Pro®ciency testing of the GEPISFG WG.
Analysis of data: GENEPOP [1]; expected heterozygosity according to Nei [2]. Access to the data: http://www.ipatimup.pt/STR. Other remarks: The population genetic pro®le is typically European Caucasian, but less diverse than the US reference database reported by the kit's manufacturer. For all systems (D8S1179 excepted), the diversity indexes such as the a priori exclusion chance show lower values than the US Caucasians. Combined a priori exclusion chance of this multiplex in our sample is 0.99983 (0.99998 in the US Caucasians database).
