Abstract
Population genetic studies were carried out on Caucasians from north-west Croatia (Zagreb-area) using the short tandem repeat (STR) systems HumTHO1, HumVWA and HumACTBP2. After electrophoresis in PAG, 6 alleles could be identified for HumTHO1 in a sample size of 100 unrelated individuals and 7 alleles were found for VWA. For ACTBP2, 25 alleles have been identified. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be observed.
Zusammenfassung
Populationsstichproben nordwestkroatischer Kaukasier (Zagreb-Region) wurden mit den 3 Short tandem repeat (STR) Systemen HumTHO1, Hum-VWA und HumACTBP2 untersucht. Nach elektrophoretischer Auftrennung der Fragmente in PAG konnten 6 Allele für HumTHO1 in einer Bevölkerungsstichprobe von 100 nicht verwandten Personen und 7 Allele für Hum-VWA differenziert werden. Für ACTBP2 ließen sich 25 Allele unterscheiden. Eine signifikante Abweichung vom Hardy-Weinberg-Gleichgewicht wurde nicht festgestellt.
