Announcement of population data
STR data for the AmpFlSTR pro®ler plus loci from Majorcan, Minorcan and Valencian populations (Eastern Spain) Carmen TomaÁs, AntoÁnia Picornell*, Jose A. Castro, Ma. MisericoÁrdia Laboratori de GeneÁtica, Departament de Biologia, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Crta. Valldemossa, km 7.5. 07071-Palma de Mallorca, Balears, Spain Received 15 December 2000; received in revised form 10 January 2001; accepted 10 January 2001
Abstract Frequency data of the nine STRs included in the AmpFlSTR pro®ler plus kit were determined in a sample of 304 unrelated individuals from three Spanish populations: 103 from Majorca, 100 from Minorca, and 101 from Valencia. # 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Short tandem repeats; AmpFlSTR pro®ler plus; Population data; Eastern Spain
Population: Autochthonous unrelated individuals from Valencia and the islands of Majorca and Minorca. Extraction: Standard phenol/chloroform DNA extraction [1]. PCR: The co-ampli®cation of these loci was performed following the manufacturer's instructions, using approximately 2 ng of genomic DNA in a total reaction volume of 10 ml. Typing: ABI 310 and reference sequenced ladders (PE Applied Biosystems). Results: See Tables 1 and 2. Analysis of data: GENEPOP [2], BIOSYS-1 [3] packages. Other remarks: No deviations from Hardy±Weinberg equilibrium were observed. Comparisons between all of the
three populations studied showed no signi®cant differences, with the exception of the FGA system (P < 0:001). FST values between these populations and other Spanish and Portuguese populations showed only signi®cant differences between Basques and Minorcans. No evidence of signi®cant allele association was observed in the pairwise comparisons between loci. The AmpFlSTR pro®ler plus was used in 26 paternity investigation cases, previously tested with other loci. Ten were exclusion cases (38.5%). Exclusions in between two and seven loci were observed, eight of them (80%) were con®rmed in at least four loci. All the cases showing no exclusion paternity had probability of paternity > 99:95% (PI > 2000), which is above the limit usually accepted by some courts for attribution of paternity [4].
