ABSTRACT
This report presents allele frequency and absolute genotype data of the short tandem repeat (STR) loci HUMTH01, HUMVWA31A, HUMCSF1PO and HUMTPOX for three autochthonous Amerindian populations living in the Beni Department of Bolivia. These related groups are the Quechua, Aymara and Beni populations all living in specific although sometimes overlapping areas that extend from the Andean habitat to the lowland Llanos de Moxos savannah passing through the Piedmont hills. The usefulness of these loci for paternity and identification testing was also examined. The present work completes previous genetic studies performed by the authors in these populations including mtDNA haplogroups (Bert et al., Hum Biol, 731-16, 2001) and HVRI data (Bert et al., Ann Hum Biol 319-28, 2004; Corella et al., Ann Hum Biol 3434-35, 2007).
