Allele frequency of D1S191 microsatellite locus in Japanese people.
The allele frequency of D1S191 microsatellite locus was analyzed in 398 normal tissues of Japanese adults. The frequency of D1S191 microsatellite polymorphism was 90.2% (359/398). The size of D1S191 PCR fragments ranged from 147 bp to 169 bp. The most frequent allele in the Japanese subjects was 161 bp (34.1%) followed by 159 bp (27.9%), 163 bp (17.7%), and 157 bp (12.4%) fragments. The observed allelic distribution of this microsatellite in the Japanese subjects was similar to that of European Caucasians deposited in the Genome Database.
