title: A genetic study of the short tandem repeat systems VWA and TH01 in an Austrian population.
abstract: Allele- and genotype frequencies of the two short tandem repeat (STR) systems VWA and TH01 were determined in an Austrian population sample by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. A total of 9 alleles for VWA and 6 alleles for TH01 could be observed in a population of 278 (VWA) and 276 (TH01) individuals. Both systems are in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. They are highly informative for individualization from stain analysis and, in addition, they are very useful for paternity testing. The data presented here allow the statistical interpretation of PCR results for an Austrian population.
