Abstract
In this study, we reported for the first time Y chromosome haplotypes throughout Iran from 1097 unrelated Iranian males using the AmpFlSTRTM YfilerTM kit. 1094 out of the 1097 haplotypes identified were unique. The values of haplotype diversity (HD) and discriminating capacity (DC) were 1.00000 and 0.997, respectively. An analysis of genetic distance was performed by the molecular variance (AMOVA) and multidimensional scaling plots (MDS), showing that a statistically was observed significant difference between the study population and previous data reported for other Iranian populations and other neighboring countries. The findings of the present study are likely to be useful for Forensic casework analysis and kinship investigations.
