Abstract: Allele and genotype frequencies of 25 SNPs previously selected and validated for forensic purposes were assessed in 250 unrelated individuals originating from five different countries of Europe (Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Serbia). All the SNPs generated extremely low F st values confirming our previous results on Italian, African (Benin) and Asian (Mongolian) populations. As a consequence of such F st values we observed similar values of random match probability across the populations: 2.26×10−10 in the Spanish population, 2.13×10−10 in the Croatian population, 4.21×10−10 in the Bulgarian population, 2.52×10−10 in the Serbian population and 1.46×10−10 in the Turkish population.

Abstract: Allele frequencies for 16 previously described autosomal SNPs were tested in 1020 unrelated individuals originating from three different continents (Africa, Asia and Europe). The populations analyzed included Africans from Benin Gulf (180), Asians from Mongolia (160) and Europeans from Italy (680). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
