Summary
A population study on the VNTR locus D1S80 was carried out in a sample of 377 unrelated Japanese individuals living in and around Gifu Prefecture (central region of Japan). A total of 29 different alleles was distinguished. Alleles 18, 24 and 30 were found to be the 3 most common alleles in this population sample and their frequencies were 0.147, 0.200 and 0.162, respectively. Out of the 435 possible phenotypes, 120 were observed. The observed heterozygosity was 0.88 and the power of discrimination was 0.98. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be found in this Japanese population sample.
Zusammenfassung
Eine populationsgenetische Studie über den VNTR Locus D1S80 wurde an einer Stichprobe von 377 unverwandten Japanern durchgeführt, welche innerhalb und in der Umgebung der Gifu-Präfektur (ZentralJapan) leben. Insgesamt wurden 29 verschiedene Allele unterschieden. Die Allele 18, 24 und 30 waren die 3 häufigsten Allele in dieser Populationsstichprobe, und ihre Frequenzen waren 0,147, 0,200 und 0,162. Von insgesamt 435 möglichen Phänotypen wurden 120 beobachtet. Die beobachtete Heterozygotie-Rate war 0,88 und der Diskriminations-Index betrug 0,98. In der untersuchten japanischen Stichprobe wurden keine signifikanten Abweichungen vom Hardy-Weinberg-Gleichgewicht gefunden. lated Japanse individuals living in and around Gifu Prefecture (central region of Japan).
