Genetic analysis of 15 autosomal STRs in Yousafzai population of Pakistan.

Yousafzai is a Pushto-speaking Pathan tribe inhabiting the northern province of Pakistan who claim to be descendants of the prophet Yousaf (Joseph). Forensic and genetic parameters were determined for 203 genetically unrelated individuals on 15 autosomal STRs. D2S1338 was the most discriminating locus whereas TPOX was the least.
