  • Title: Nine-locus Y-STR profiles of Afrikaner Caucasian and mixed ancestry populations from Cape Town, South Africa.
    Author: Ehrenreich L, Benjeddou M, Davison S, D'Amato M, Leat N.
    Journal: Leg Med (Tokyo); 2008 Jul; 10(4):225-7. PubMed ID: 18282779.
    Abstract:
    Samples were collected from 108 Afrikaner males and 114 males of mixed ancestry. The term mixed ancestry is being used to denote a complex community which was established with contributions from Asians, Caucasians and Indigenous populations and constitutes a significant proportion of the Cape Town metropolitan population. Allele and haplotype frequencies were determined for nine Y-STR loci (DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393 and the duplicated locus DYS385). Unique haplotypes were obtained for 64 Afrikaner males and 90 males of mixed ancestry. Both population groups shared the same most common haplotype.
