Population genetics in Croatia revealed genetic diversity using short tandem repeat (STR) markers. Analysis of HumTHO1, HumVWA, and HumACTBP2 in Caucasians showed no Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium deviations.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Forensic science
  • Human genetics

Background:

  • Understanding genetic variation within populations is crucial for forensic applications and anthropological studies.
  • Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are highly polymorphic and widely used in human identification and population genetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the genetic diversity of Caucasian populations in north-west Croatia using specific STR loci.
  • To establish a genetic profile for the Zagreb-area population for potential forensic and anthropological reference.

Main Methods:

  • Population genetic analysis was performed on 100 unrelated Caucasian individuals from the Zagreb-area.
  • Short tandem repeat (STR) systems, specifically HumTHO1, HumVWA, and HumACTBP2, were analyzed.

  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAG) was employed for allele identification.

    • Main Results:

    • Six alleles were identified for the HumTHO1 locus.
    • Seven alleles were identified for the HumVWA locus.
    • Twenty-five alleles were identified for the HumACTBP2 locus.
    • No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed for the studied STR loci.

    Conclusions:

    • The studied STR loci (HumTHO1, HumVWA, HumACTBP2) exhibit considerable polymorphism in the Caucasian population of north-west Croatia.
    • The genetic data obtained adhere to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, suggesting random mating within the studied population.
    • This study provides valuable genetic data for the Zagreb-area population, contributing to forensic databases and population genetics research.
