Abstract
To introduce the loci LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, and GC (PM loci) in Dutch forensic identity testing, allele and genotype frequencies were determined in a Dutch Caucasian population sample, which had previously been typed for the HLADQA1 locus [12]. All 6 loci met Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, and there is little evidence for association between pairs of loci. The combined power of discrimination for all 6 loci is 0.9997. The allele frequencies of the PM loci were similar to 2 other Caucasian populations [3, 10], and differed from 3 non-Caucasian populations [3].
