Sažetak
The aim of this study is to analyze STR variation using the data on nine STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, THO1, TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) in 98 autochthonous individuals from three geographically distinct areas of the island of Vis, i.e. northern (the town of Vis), western (the town of Komiža) and southern (Vis villages). Same modal alleles and similar number of alleles per locus are observed in the island of Vis in comparison to other studied Croatian populations, however two rare alleles are found in considerably higher frequencies: D3S1358 *19 (5.10%) and D5S818*7 (3.06%). The agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is confirmed for all loci. High heterozygosity values (> 75.46%) are detected in all studied island subpopulations. Locus TPOX shows the lowest level of heterozygosity (67.06%) and FGA the highest (85.89%). The average coefficient of gene differentiation is relatively low (1.54%) and reflects rather low levels of population substructuring. The largest genetic distances (standard, DA and DSW) is noted between Vis and Vis villages, whereas smallest between Komiža and Vis villages. As expected, the analyses of genetic kinship shows opposite findings. The result of greatest genetic similarity between Komiža and Vis villages is logical in view of the known historical data on the founding of Komiža by immigrants from Vis villages.
