Abstract

Allele frequencies for 15 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D19S433, HUMVWA31A, HUMTPOX, D18S51, D3S1358, HUMTHO1, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D5S818, and HUMFGA) were analyzed in a Mexican population: Choles from Chiapas State. The aim of the study was to obtain accurate allele frequencies data and other genetic parameters of forensic interest on the Amerindian ethnic groups from Mexico, using an automatic method and commercial amplification kit. The agreement with HWE (Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium) was confirmed for all loci (based on the X²-test).
