title: Analysis of the VNTR locus D1S80 in a Japanese population.
abstract: A population study on the VNTR locus D1S80 was carried out in a sample of 377 unrelated Japanese individuals living in and around Gifu Prefecture (central region of Japan). A total of 29 different alleles was distinguished. Alleles 18, 24 and 30 were found to be the 3 most common alleles in this population sample and their frequencies were 0.147, 0.200 and 0.162, respectively. Out of the 435 possible phenotypes, 120 were observed. The observed heterozygosity was 0.88 and the power of discrimination was 0.98. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be found in this Japanese population sample.
