Short tandem repeat HumACTBP2 (SE33) and HumVWA: population genetic study on a north Italian population.
Allele frequencies at the short tandem repeat (STR) loci HumACTBP2 and HumVWA were determined in 118 unrelated individuals from Northern Italy (Milan area). For locus HumACTBP2 (SE33) a total of 39 alleles was observed. Furthermore, two interalleles (N18m+N19m) and one allele (> N35) were found which were not observed in a wider German population survey (n = 560). For the STR system HumVWA, 7 alleles could be detected. Both systems showed no significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A comparison of Italian and German population data revealed no significant differences for locus HumVWA, while significant differences were observed for locus HumACTBP2.
