Y-chromosome haplogroups constructed from SNP markers of Y-specific regions have been largely used in population genetic trials. These data might also be applied to forensic studies on human populations showing multiethnic admixture. Haplogroups have evidenced differential ethnic and geographic distribution. The objective of the present report was to analyze 775 male samples for 16 Y-SNP by PCR-RFLP and to describe haplogroup frequencies in three Argentine geographic regions: Central-West (Cuyo), Center, and North-West.
