Population study of the short tandem repeat polymorphisms HumTH01, HumvWA31, HumFESFPS and HumF13A01 in Sicily (Southern Italy).
Population genetic studies were carried out on randomly selected and unrelated healthy individuals from Sicily (n = 140-150 individuals) using the short tandem repeat (STR) systems HumTH01, HumvWA31, HumFESFPS and HumF13A01. After vertical electrophoresis on polyacrylamide denaturing gels 6 alleles could be identified for TH01, 9 for vWA31, 7 for FESFPS and 11 for F13A01. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg were observed.
