A new allele at the short tandem repeat locus HumF13A01.
We investigated the (AAAG)n short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism HumF13A01 an Austrian Caucasoid population sample (n = 674). PCR amplified fragments were detected on an automatic A.L.F. DNA sequencer using laser-induced fluorescence. A total of 14 alleles could be identified including a new 179 bp allele which was designated allele 3. Sequence determination of allele 3 confirmed the typing results by revealing three continuous copies of the core repeat, whereas in sequencing of 54 additional alleles no further variants or microheterogeneities could be observed. The population data showed no significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
