Genetic profile of the Ecuadorian Black population (Ecuador–South America) by using the Power Plex® 16 system kit

Abstract:

Allele frequency data for the 15 STR systems and Amelogenine were determined in a population sample of healthy Black unrelated individuals. All loci met Hardy–Weinberg expectations and the high discrimination power of combined system showed the forensic efficiency of these genetic markers. There is a lack of information on Ecuadorian population from a genetic point of view and therefore no previous publications on the distribution of STRs on Black population is available. Blackas are descendents of slaves procedentes of Africa. © 2003, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
