title: Frequencies for five short tandem repeat (STR) systems in a population from north Poland.
abstract: A population study of unrelated individuals from North Poland (Gdansk area) was carried out to investigate the allele distributions of the five STR systems HUMCD4, HUMFES/FPS, HUMVWA31, HUMTH01 and ACTBP2. PCR products were separated on horizontal non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels followed by silver staining. For all STR systems analysed the distribution of observed phenotypes did not deviate from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A comparison of allele distributions between Polish and other European Caucasian population samples is presented.
