Population data and forensic efficiency values for the STR systems HumVWA, HumMBP and HumFABP.
Population studies were carried out on Caucasians from north-west Germany using the short tandem repeat (STR) systems HumVWA (locus: 12p12-12pter), HumMBP (locus: 18q23-pter) and HumFABP (locus: 4q28-q31). After electrophoresis 9 alleles could be identified for HumVWA in a sample size of 321 unrelated individuals and 4 alleles were found for HumFABP in 106 individuals. For HumMBP-A 10 alleles and for HumMBP-B 7 alleles and 1 intermediate allele were determined in a sample size of 143 individuals. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be observed. In a small family study (HumVWA-n = 129; HumMBP-n = 59; HumFABP-n = 48) no new mutations could be found for HumMBP-A and HumFABP whereas 2 mutations were found in HumMBP-B and one mutation in HumVWA. Positive results could be obtained from 1 ng-20 pg (HumVWA, HumFABP) and 1 ng-100 pg (HumMBP) template DNA.
