Abstract
Allele frequencies for 15 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D19S433, HUMVWA31A, HUMTPOX, D18S51, D3S1358, HUMTHO1, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D5S818 and HUMFGA) were analysed in the Fang population of Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. No deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was found for all loci. Statistical parameters demonstrated the forensic utility of the analysed systems.
