title: Allele frequency of D1S191 microsatellite locus in Japanese people.
abstract: 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.
