title: [Population study of D1S80 locus in Caucasians living in the Ural region of Russia by capillary electrophoresis].
abstract: A series of screening tests showed that separation of polymerase chain reaction products and identification of D1S80 by capillary electrophoresis with the use of hydroxyethyl cellulose as the substituting screening template and double internal DNA reference is an accurate, rapid, and reliable method, fit for routine use. D1S80-allele frequencies for Caucasian population were determined in a population of 340 unrelated individuals living in the Ural region of Russia. The D1S80 genotypical frequencies in this population sample do not statistically deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The discrimination power for this locus is 0.935. Significant deviations from the zero hypothesis of population homogeneity were detected by comparison of 4 Caucasian population samples. Differences in the frequencies of alleles 25, 30, and 31 seem to be the main cause of heterogeneity in paired comparison.
