Distribution of four Y-chromosome specific microsatellite in three ethnic Iranian population.

The Y chromosome contains the largest nonrecombining block in the human genome. Polymorphic Y-chromosome specific microsatellites or short tandem repeats (STRs) are becoming increasingly used in evolutionary and forensic studies, in particular, indating the origins of Y chromosomal lineages. In the present study we have analyzed a set four Y-STRs contain:one trinucleotide (DYS 392) and three tetranucleotide (DYS 393,DYS 389 I,DYS 389 II) haplotypes in three ethnic population of Iranian to determine the allelic frequencies of the said four Y-STRs.
