title: [Allelic distribution of the HUMCD4 polymorphic system in the Province of Parma].
abstract: Allele frequencies of polymorphic system HUMCD4 were determined in a sample from the Province of Parma. Good separation of PCR amplified fragments was performed by non denaturing PAGE; seven allelic variants were found and frequency distribution was in good agreement with previous studies on Caucasian. The statistic tests (Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium -H-W-., Power of Discrimination -PD- and Mean Exclusion Chance -MEC-) and the robustness of the technique suggest the use of this polymorphism in forensic investigations.
