Abstract Allele frequencies and statistical parameters of forensic interest for the 15 STRs loci of the AmpFlSTR1 IdentifilerTM System were estimated in 294 healthy unrelated individuals of the Brazilian population of Sa˜o Paulo State. A phylogenetic tree was elaborated. The results are in agreement with other population studies and historical data. # 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The settlement of Brazil began in Sa˜o Paulo State, in 1532, with the Portuguese arrival. Its ethnic variety, which characterizes this population, has an historical context related with the coming of African slaves groups and subsequent migratory waves of the Spanish, Italian, German and Japanese. A population study of the population of Sa˜o Paulo State was conducted using the Identifiler Amplification Kit [1]. STR data was compared to other population data and a phylogenetic tree was elaborated. 2. Materials and methods Genomic DNA was extracted from blood stains from 294 unrelated, healthy individuals of the population of Sa˜o Paulo State, Brazil, using Chelex method [2]. Typing was performed on a ABI PrismTM 310 Genetic Analyzer. The determination of p values of exact test for the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was carried out with GENEPOP software [3].

between our population and other population samples [4–19] were calculated with PHYLIP software [20] according to Nei. The correspondent phylogenetic tree was obtained with TREEVIEW software [21]. 3. Results and discussion The allelic frequencies of the Brazilian sample of Sa˜o Paulo State and the forensic interest parameters are shown in Table 1. Verified the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, allelic frequencies were compared with other population samples (Fig. 1). 4. Conclusions With exception of the CSF1PO system ( p = 0.03693), no deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were found. STR loci showed a combined probability of exclusion and power of discrimination of 0.9999995 and 0.99999999997, respectively, thus providing a powerful tool for forensic individual identification, paternity investigations and population genetic studies in Sa˜o Paulo State population. This study agrees with other population studies and historical data, since it presents a higher proximity of Sa˜o Paulo State with European populations, mainly with Portugal and Spain, than the other mentioned Brazilian populations, which are closest to African populations.
