  • Descrição: In this work, 90 individuals living in Karamoja region were typed for 17 autosomal STRs and 40 males were also typed for 12 Y-STRs. Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was tested for each autosomal locus and no deviations from equilibrium were observed. For autosomal STRs, our sample shows a combined matching probability of 1 in 6.5×1019 individuals and a combined power of exclusion of 0.999999988. Haplotype diversity for Y-STRs was 0.9859 and 32 different haplotypes were detected. Our sample was compared with available autosomal data from sub-Saharan African samples and significant differences were found with Mozambique; Cabinda (Angola); Equatorial Guinea; and with Rwanda. Comparisons with the Y-STR data, revealed large genetic distances between our sample and Mozambique, Cabinda and Equatorial Guinea.
