Abstract:
Allele frequency distributions of six short tandem repeat (STR) loci, HUMTH01, HUMFES/FPS, HUMTPOX, HUMVWF/A31, HUMF13B, and HUMLPL, were determined in a population (101 individuals) of the Vera-Jerte region in West Central Spain. Amplified products were electrophoresed on denaturing polyacrylamide gels and silver-stained. The exact test demonstrated that none of the six loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. R-matrix analysis in relation to other European samples agrees well with genetic distance results of Reynolds et al. (1983). Comparisons show that our population comes reasonably well within the range of variation of other European samples, and that the representation of these samples on the genetic map indicates a close relation between geographical location and distribution in the diagram.
