Abstract (EN): Seventeen Y-STRs (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, GATA H4) were analyzed in two Native American populations, namely, Tobas (N = 49) and Collas (N = 29), settled in the North and Northwest regions of Argentina, respectively. Standard diversity indices and haplotype frequencies were estimated. Genetic distance between both population was estimated by mean of Fst (Rst) test. Statistical tests were performed using Arlequin software Ver 2.000. Thirty-three and fifteen different complete haplotypes were observed for the Tobas and Collas, respectively. Haplotype diversity was 0.9769 ± 0.01 for Tobas and 0.9497 ± 0.02 for Collas. A new variant, present in thirteen individuals, was identified at DYS385 loci in Tobas. At DYS448, two alleles were found in two samples from Toba population and in one sample from Collas. No shared haplotypes were found between the two populations. A significant Fst value of 0.1466 was obtained in the pairwise comparison between the two populations (P = 0.00 ± 0.0). © 2006.
