Allelic frequency distribution for three VNTR markers--D6S132, D7S467, D17S26--in Rio de Janeiro population, Brazil.
A sample population of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was tested for D6S132, D7S467, and D17S26 VNTR loci to determine the fixed-bin frequencies of alleles. RFLP analysis was obtained by HaeIII-digested genomic DNA. The three VNTR loci meet Hardy-Weinberg expectations, and there is no evidence for association of alleles between the VNTR loci. The frequency data can be used in forensic analysis, in paternity tests and to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile in the general Brazilian population.
