Abstract excerpt
Six Y-linked tetranucleotide microsatellites were typed in a sample of continental Italians and Sardinians. Significant differences in allele distributions were found between peninsular Italy and the island. Patterns of distinct allelic associations were evident in Sardinia and in the mainland. STR haplotypes in a subset of Sardinian chromosomes were monophyletically related and indicated that additions/deletions...
