Race, Genetics, and Society

The highly polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) loci in the human genome are widely used for forensic and paternity testing as well as for population genetic studies. During the last two decades, new states were formed in the territory of former Yugoslavia. Analyses of STR loci polymorphism for the Serbian population published so far included mixed samples of Serbians and ethnically close but different populations from the other countries [ 1 Veselinović I.

Here we have collected samples from a widespread ethnic Serbian population inhabiting the newly formed Republic of Serbia and analyzed them by 15 AmpFlSTR Identifiler loci (D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, D2S1338, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, D19S433, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, FGA). The data obtained were compared with ethnically close neighboring nations in order to resolve confused earlier comparisons based on samples that included different nations living in the country of research [ 4 Marjanović D.
