Sažetak
The genetic variability at seven Y-chromosomal microsatellite loci was studied
among 113 Sardinian males from the regions of Campidano of Cagliari, Nuorese and
Gallura. The allelic and haplotypes frequency distributions are compared between our
sample and from the available literature data on Mediterranean and European populations.
As a result, the Sardinian samples showed a very high allele frequency in the
DYS19*17, a rarity in the rest of Europe, probably due to the founder effect. The analysis
has shown an intra-population genetic heterogeneity and genetic differentiation
from other Mediterranean and European population deal with. The results reported in
this work showed that of the Euro-Mediterranean populations, the Corsican of the
South seems to have the most genetic affinity with the Sardinians, thereby reaffirming
the observations from previous works that had suggested a certain level of genetic similarity
