Abstract
Allele frequencies of the Short Tandem Repeat locus HumD21S11 were determined analysing 119 unrelated individuals from the area of Milano (Northern Italy). A total of 13 alleles was detected. One allele (< 26) was found which has never been observed in a wider German population sample. The system showed neither significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium nor significant differences with a German population sample.
