Aim To perform a genetic characterization of 7 skeletons
from medieval age found in a burial site in the Aragonese
Pyrenees.
Methods Allele frequencies of autosomal short tandem
repeats (STR) loci were determined by 3 different STR systems.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome
haplogroups were determined by sequencing of the hypervariable
segment 1 of mtDNA and typing of phylogenetic
Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (YSNP)
markers, respectively. Possible familial relationships
were also investigated.
Results Complete or partial STR profiles were obtained in
3 of the 7 samples. Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup was
determined in 6 samples, with 5 of them corresponding
to the haplogroup H and 1 to the haplogroup U5a. Ychromosome
haplogroup was determined in 2 samples,
corresponding to the haplogroup R. In one of them, the
sub-branch R1b1b2 was determined. mtDNA sequences
indicated that some of the individuals could be maternally
related, while STR profiles indicated no direct family relationships.
Conclusions Despite the antiquity of the samples and
great difficulty that genetic analyses entail, the combined
use of autosomal STR markers, Y-chromosome informative
SNPs, and mtDNA sequences allowed us to genotype a
group of skeletons from the medieval age.
