AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed allele frequencies and haplotype diversity of 17 Y-chromosomal STR loci in 120 Garo and 139 Santal males in Bangladesh, resulting in 99 haplotypes for Garo and 129 for Santal.
- Discrimination capacities (DC) were found to be 0.825 for Garo and 0.928 for Santal, indicating how effectively these haplotypes can distinguish between individuals.
- Genetic comparisons showed the Garo population is closely related to the Tripuri population in India, while the Santal population has a moderate relationship with the Munda population; both groups are significantly genetically distant from the mainstream Bengali population.
Article Abstract
Allele frequencies and haplotype diversity of 17 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci included in Y-filer™ PCR amplification kit were studied in 120 Garo and 139 Santal male individuals residing in two distinct regions of Bangladesh. A total of 99 different haplotypes from Garo and 129 different haplotypes from Santal individuals were observed with a corresponding discrimination capacity (DC) of 0.825 and 0.928, respectively. A comparison of the studied data with the published data from Y-STR haplotype reference database (YHRD) based on AMOVA revealed that the Garo population is closely related to Tripuri population from Tripura, India and Santal population moderately close to Munda population from Jharkhand, India. The mainstream Bengali population resides at a significant genetic distance from these two studied populations.
