Abstract
This work reports the allele frequencies for ten X-STRs (DXS8378, DXS7132, DXS9898, DXS6809, DXS9902, DXS6789, DXS7133, DXS7423, GATA172D05, GATA31E08) in a sample of 800 individuals from Paraná, Brazil. No deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were observed. Linkage disequilibrium analysis did not reveal association between the X-STRs. High overall power of discrimination was obtained for female and male samples, and high probability of exclusion was observed in father/mother/daughter trios and father/daughter duos. Genetic comparisons revealed significant differences between Paraná and other Brazilian populations.
