title: Y-chromosomal STR haplotyping in a Japanese population.
abstract: The Y-specific STR systems including DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS390, DYS391 and DYS393, were investigated in 117 Japanese males. Analysis of the 6 loci permitted classification of the samples into 90 haplotypes, and the haplotypic diversity was estimated to be 0.984. Distribution of the haplotypes in the Japanese population studied was different from that in European populations.
