Analysis of the short tandem repeat systems HumVWA and HumF13B in a population sample from northern Thailand.
Two STR systems (HumVWA, HumF13B) were analysed in a northern Thailand population sample using PCR and gel electrophoresis. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed. A rare VWA allele was detected, sequenced and the molecular structure is presented. Interpopulation comparisons revealed that the Thai allele frequencies were most similar to data from other Asian populations.
