Allele frequencies at microsatellite loci: the stepwise mutation model revisited.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1993

Valdes A M, Slatkin M, Freimer N B

Abstract excerpt

We summarize available data on the frequencies of alleles at microsatellite loci in human populations and compare observed distributions of allele frequencies to those generated by a simulation of the stepwise mutation model. We show that observed frequency distributions at 108 loci are consistent with the results of the model under the assumption that mutations cause an increase or decrease in repeat number by...
