Abstract
Allele frequencies, together with some parameters of forensic interest for 10 STRs (D3S1358, vWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01 and FGA) were estimated from 201 unrelated individuals originating from southern Tunisia. Significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed for only one marker. Comparative analyses between our population data and other populations showed that only markers D3S158, vWA and FGA were homogenous among populations. The combination of these 10 STR loci provide a powerful tool for forensic identification in Tunisian population.
