title: A study of independence between STR and conventional blood type loci.
abstract: Blood samples from approximately 200 Scottish Caucasian individuals were typed at conventional loci (PGM, Gc and EAP) and also with a four locus STR multiplex. Tests of the data are described which demonstrate that the assumptions of between locus independence are robust for use in forensic casework.
