20.500.12556/RUL-166828 Genotype characteristics of Y-chromosome in the Balkan population review of haplogroup frequencies The genetic structure of the Balkan peoples is complex and is reflection of continuous migration processes and settlement of various tribes and ethnic groups throughout past centuries. The human uniparental genetic markers, the Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA are widely used for studying population heterogeneity, human migration processes and recently, as important markers in forensic cases. Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) are used to find the origin of bio-geographic ancestry of individuals and populations. Except in understanding of population origins from an evolutionary perspective, determination of the Y-chromosome haplogroups distribution is of great importance in forensic cases, since it is suitable to provide information about paternal biogeographical ancestry of unknown perpetrators or missing persons in cases where autosomal DNA profiling is uninformative. Published results show that the population of the Balkans is mostly characterized by Y-chromosome haplogroups I, R and E. The most frequent are haplogroups I2, R1a and E1b1b descending from Europe, west Asia and Africa, respectively. The aims of this article are to present Y-chromosome haplogroups that are predominant in population of the Balkans, and give an overview of their distribution for application in population studies, forensic cases and as documents of evolutionary history. population of the Balkans Y-SNP haplogroups forensic application prebivalstvo Balkana Y-SNP haploskupine forenzična aplikacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-01-27 11:06:18 2025-01-27 11:06:23 2025-11-15 04:42:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 539-551 no. 5 Vol. 57 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 577.2:340.6 1834-562X 10.1080/00450618.2024.2359424 199565059 Genotype_characteristics_of_Y-chromosome_in_the_Balkan_populat.pdf Genotype_characteristics_of_Y-chromosome_in_the_Balkan_populat.pdf 1 6D074B1A7A7832105CB78E52EEC15C28 bb4185c1a5f32baabe544087e78cdc5ee1e711d139f8c601b13d13eb7c2169e8 a5c9a8c7-c12b-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=221929 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00450618.2024.2359424 1 8e9d71fe-dc95-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=198754 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
