Short tandem repeat polymorphism at the HUMCD4 and HUMF13B loci in a Croatian population.
Population studies were carried out on unrelated individuals of Croatian ancestry. Genomic DNA was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the polymorphic microsatellite loci HUMCD4 (n = 105 individuals) and HUMF13B (n = 108 individuals). After horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by silver staining 6 alleles and 12 genotypes were observed for HUMCD4 and 6 alleles and 13 genotypes could be identified for HUMF13B. Data obtained were in concordance with the prediction of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele frequency data were compared with Austrian and Italian population samples and no significant deviations between these populations were observed.
