title: [Population genetics of short tandem repeat locus HUMTH01].
abstract: The distributions of genotypes and allele frequencies for the short tandem repeat locus HUMTH01 in Chinese and German populations were studied by amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis. The PCR amplification products with different primers were compared by coelectrophoresis and the population data from different laboratories were evaluated. Based on the allele frequencies of HUMTH01, the genetic distances among 25 populations were computed and a phylogenetic tree was constructed accordingly. Some new implications for population genetics were obtained from this phylogenetic tree.
