title: Frequency of D1S80 and HLA DQ alpha alleles in a Chinese population.
abstract: Allele frequency distributions for the D1S80 (MCT118) and HLA DQ alpha loci were determined in a Chinese population sample using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 25 alleles and 100 phenotypes were observed for D1S80. The frequency of allele 18 was higher than allele 24 only in this Chinese population when compared to other reported populations. A total of 6 alleles and 21 possible phenotypes were observed for HLA DQ alpha. The power of discrimination was 0.97 and 0.93 for D1S80 and HLA DQ alpha, respectively.
