Abstract

Eight Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs)—DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, and DYS385—were typed in a population sample (n=113) of unrelated males from seven different regions of Greece (Macedonia, Thessaly, Epirus, Central Greece, Peloponnese, Crete Island, and Chios Island).
