title: Japanese population data on X-chromosomal STR locus AR.
abstract: We studied 404 unrelated Japanese including 202 females for trinucleotide repeat polymorphism at the AR locus (Xcen-q13) and found 27 alleles of which 25 differed in size by an integral multiple of the repeat unit. The high informativeness makes this locus suitable for forensic application.
