title: [Allelic polymorphism of short tandemly repeating sequences of the HUMF13A01 and HUMCD4 loci in Russian populations from Moscow and Tomsk].
abstract: In samples from populations of the cities of Moscow and Tomsk, analysis of allelic polymorphism of microsatellite loci HUMF13A01 and HUMCD4 was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Eight HUMCD4 alleles (115-165 bp) and nine alleles (180-230 bp) of locus HUMF13A01 were identified. In both populations, the distributions of allelic frequencies for these loci did not differ significantly. The distribution of observed genotype frequencies fitted Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both populations. Mendelian inheritance of these tandem repeats was demonstrated by analysis of two large families. Parameters of polymorphism information content (PIC) for the loci studied were detected; comparative analysis of allelic frequencies with similar data on several populations was performed. These short tandem repeats (STR) were proposed for use in personal identification and paternity tests.
