title: Genetic variation of the nine Profiler Plus loci in Russians.
abstract: This paper presents allele frequency distributions from a representative population sample of the Russian Federation for the nine loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820) which constitute the commercially available Profiler Plus PCR amplification kit. DNA samples of 402 Russian individuals from 57 regions of the Russian Federation were amplified in a multiplex reaction with subsequent genotyping using an ABI Prism 377 DNA sequencer. The population data obtained for genotype and allele frequencies conformed to Hardy-Weinberg expectations (HWE).
