Resumen:
Abstract We investigated the genetic differentiation of five X-STR markers among five native South American Amerindian populations inhabiting three different areas of Gran Chaco: Mocoví, Chorote, Wichí, Lengua, and Ayoreo. The genetic structure observed showed correspondence with geographic distribution, more clearly than previous information obtained from autosomal STRs for the same samples. On the other hand, X-STR data did not agree with linguistic affinities. These markers proved to be very informative for the study of the native populations of Gran Chaco region.
