Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for 22 autosomal STR loci and DYS391 locus included in the PowerPlex1 Fusion System kit were estimated in a sample of 770 unrelated individuals from Chubut Province, southern Patagonia. No significant deviations from Hardy?Weinberg equilibrium were observed after Bonferroni?s correction. The combined power of discrimination and the combined probability of exclusion were >0.999999 and 0.999984, respectively. Comparisons with other worldwide populations were performed. The MDS obtained show a close biological relation between Chubut and Chile. The estimated interethnic admixture supports a high Native American contribution (46%) in the population sample of Chubut. These results enlarge the Argentine databases of autosomal STR and would provide a valuable contribution for identification tests and population genetic studies. 1 Fusion System kit were estimated in a sample of 770 unrelated individuals from Chubut Province, southern Patagonia.
