D1S80 VNTR locus genotypes in population of south Poland; meta-analysis pointer to genetic disequilibrium of human populations.

Forensic science international - 30 Oct 1995

Abstract excerpt

A highly variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in a human locus D1S80 can prove to be useful for forensic science purposes. As with other genetic polymorphisms, a database of a local population allelic frequencies is needed to ensure that no departure from genetic equilibrium exists. DNA from...
