Assessing population substructure in the Lebanese population: A population study using data on 23 autosomal short tandem repeats.

This study aimed at assessing the genetic substructure of the Lebanese population by analyzing 1400 Lebanese citizens' samples using 23 STR markers. F statistics were computed to evaluate the degree of genetic substructure. Results showed a Fst value of 0.002, indicating a low genetic subdivision within the Lebanese population.
