A Spanish population study of the STR loci HumLPL, D5S818, D7S820 and D13S317.

ABSTRACT

Allele and genotype frequencies for four tetrameric short tandem repeat loci were determined in a Spanish population sample (N=193-225) using PCR. All loci met Hardy-Weinberg expectations and the results demonstrated the assumption of independence of the loci analysed. The allele frequency data can be used in identity testing to estimate the frequency of a multiple PCR-based DNA profile in the Spanish population.
