Abstract:
The two short tandem repeat (STR) systems, HumTPO and HumLPL, were investigated in blood samples obtained from approximately 800 unrelated Japanese individuals living in seven geographically different areas of Japan. Neither deviation from a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium nor significant difference between the allele distributions was found among the seven Japanese populations in the two STR systems. These findings indicate that there is a general uniformity for both the STR loci in the Japanese population.
