title: Y STR haplotype data for New Zealand population groups using the Y-Plex 6 kit.
abstract: Allele and haplotype frequencies were obtained for the six Y STR loci DYS19, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS393 and DYS385 in the New Zealand population. Ninety-two different haplotypes were found. The Maori population had a specific haplotype that occurred in over 30% of the population. The Pacific Island population exhibited a triple repeat at the DYS385 locus in 26% of individuals, something rarely observed in other population groups.
