Abstract
Short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms provide a potential tool to forensic casework. In order to use the system TC 11 (HUMTH01: human tyrosine hydroxylase intron 1 on chromosome 11 (1)) in forensic DNA analysis, detailed knowledge of allele frequencies is most important. In paternity cases it is also essential to know the mutation rate. For this reason we analysed unrelated individuals and families from Northern Germany.
