| Abstract | | In this paper we report, for the first time, on the distribution of 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs)
in Sarrabus, a region in south east Sardinia (Italy), for which there are no data in the literature. Samples were obtained
from 77 unrelated normal subjects born and living in the three main villages of Sarrabus. In spite of being
a homogeneous population, a high degree of polymorphism was observed: heterozygosity values range from 0.618 to
0.848 and Polymophism Information Content (PIC) values range from 0.579 to 0.853. When compared to other
Sardinian populations, our data showed that Sarrabus is genetically well differentiated. This finding is consistent with
the notion that Sardinia, although regarded as a homogeneous population, shows genetic heterogeneity when different
microareas are analyzed. The implication in forensic medicine of our results, which describe a missing population,
are discussed. | | | | Keywords | | Short Tandem Repeats ‒ Genotyping ‒ Population Genetics ‒ Sarrabus | | |
