title: Population data of 13 nonCODIS STR markers located inside the 6 nonsyndromic oculocutaneous albinism genes.
abstract: Allele frequencies and forensic statistics of 13 autosomal short tandem repeat loci were estimated in 56 unrelated Iranian individuals. Except for two loci which were monomorph, a total of 5-11 alleles at each locus were observed and altogether 94 alleles for all selected loci were found. Our results show that 11 out of 13 nonCODIS STR loci are polymorphic and can be useful for human identification and kinship analysis and relationship investigations in Iran.
