Croatian genetic heritage: an updated Y-chromosome story.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To analyze an additional set of ˝Y-chromosome genetic markers to acquire a more detailed insight into the diversity of the Croatian population.

Methods

A total of 518 Yfiler Plus profiles were genotyped. Allele frequencies, haplotype frequencies, and haplotype diversity were calculated by using the STRAF software v. 2.0.4. Genetic distances were quantified by Rst with AMOVA online tool from the YHRD. The evolutionary history was inferred with the neighbor-joining method of phylogenetic tree construction in the MEGAX software. Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor v. 5 was used for additional comparison with regional and other European populations.

Results

A total of 507 haplotypes were used for genetic STR analysis. An interpopulation study on 17 Y-STR markers showed
