English Abstract

Seventeen Short Tandom Repeats Y-Chromosome were analyzed; in 302 blood samples collected randomly from governmental hospitals from Jordan : markers were DYS456, DYS389L, DYS390, DYS389ii, DYS458, DYS19, DYS385a, DYS385b, DYS393, DYS391, DYS439, DYS635, DYS392, TAGA H4, DYS437, DYS438, and DYS448).The frequency of allele found ranged from 10 % (DYS19, DYS385a, DYS385b, DYS389i, DYS389H, DYS439, DYS448, DYS635 and H4) to 100 % (DYS392, DYS437, andDYS438 .

The genetic diversity (G.D) values for each Y-Chromosome STR, ranged from a minimum of 0.020 for (DYS392, DYS437 and DYS438) to a maximum of 0.702 (DYS385b) with mean value of 0.325.The most diverse locus were (DYS385b) with heterogeneity of allele equals to 32.4%.

The minimal haplotype (calculated manually >70%) is composed of seven STR's which were observed in the Jordan samples equivalent to most commonly loci which appeared at the following order : (DYS19, DYS385a, DYS389i, DYS390, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS635, DYSH4 ranged from a minimum of 70 % for (DYS390) to a maximum of 100 % for (DYS392, DYS437, DYS438) with mean value of 87.5 %.

The results were found similar to other Districts of Jordan in the following percentage : Ajloun (100 %), Irbid (80 %), Jarash (100 %), Mafraq (100 %), Ma'an (100 %), Karak (100 %), Tafila (83.3 %), Aqaba (83.3 %), Amman (100 %), Salt (100%X and Madaba (100%) and Zarqa (87.5 %).

We compared the results which were obtained from Jordan with the other countries.

The similarities were Saudi Arabia (100 %), Iraq (83 %), Qatar (90 %), Kuwait (80 %), United Arab Emirates (71 %) Bahrain (62 %), Oman (77 %), Yemen (71 %), Syria (40 %), Lebanon (75 %), Libya (100 %), Egypt (66.6 %), Mauritania (60 %), Tunis (87.5 %) Algeria (54.5 %), Morocco (62.5 %), Sudan (80 %), and Somali (75 %).
