Objective of the research included calculation of biostatistical indexes and forensic efficiency parameters and deepening knowledge on genetic structure of the population considering historical background and ethnic composition. Forensic genetic markers were typed in a total of 620 individuals in population samples of Poles and minorities of Byelarussians, Lithuanians, Polish Tatars and Old Believers. Genetic polymorphisms analysed using statistic methods may be informative in differentiation of populations and ethnic groups. Variation in distributions of genetic markers in northeastern Polish populations should be considered when evaluating matching probability of forensic evidence.
