title: [Locus DYS 439--polymorphism in Polish population].
abstract: This paper describes the polymorphism of a new locus DYS439 in a Polish population sample of 198 males. To correctly type DYS439 alleles, a sequenced allelic ladder was constructed. In an analyzed population sample 6 of 7 alleles identified to date were found (17, 19-23). The most frequent allele was 19 with a frequency of 0.4343. Calculated gene diversity value for DYS439 locus is 0.70 and is one of the highest for Y-STR loci analyzed in our population to date. Moreover a comparison of homogeneity distribution of DYS 439 alleles between different populations was analyzed. Very significant statistical differences (p < 0.0000) were observed between our population and four European population samples (Italy, Portugal and Spain).
