Population genetic data for 10 X-STR loci in autochthonous Basques from Navarre (Spain).

Ten X chromosome markers (DXS6789, DXS6809, DXS7132, DXS7133, DXS7423, DXS8378, DXS9898, DXS9902, GATA172D05, and GATA31E08) were analyzed in a sample of 185 unrelated autochthonous Basques from Navarre. Deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium between markers were not observed at any loci. Combined power of discrimination was 0.999999999 (females) and 0.999998764 (males). Mean exclusion chance was 0.99999463 (trios) and 0.999761591 (duos). Pairwise genetic distances (Fst) of X-STR frequencies indicate significant differences in the allele frequency distribution between the autochthonous Basques from Navarre and American and Iberian populations except with the Basque Country.
