title: Allele distribution of 15 PCR-based loci in the Rwanda Tutsi population by multiplex amplification and capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: A genetic study of 15 autosomal STRs is carried out (D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1 79, D13S317, D16S359, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, CSF1PO, FGA, TPOX, THO1, VWA) in a sample of unrelated Tutsis. The molecular phenotypes were determined by means of multiplex strategies (AmpFlSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit, Applied Biosystems) followed by capillary electrophoresis.
