Abstract excerpt
The allelic frequency and structural characteristics of two STR loci D8S580 and D22S442 were investigated using blood samples from 143 unrelated healthy Japanese individuals. Thirty-eight alleles in D8S580 locus and 13 alleles in D22S442 locus were identified. The discrimination power, heterozygosity, and the polymorphic information content of those loci displayed high values (0.98, 0.88, and 0.87 in D8S580 and...
