Abstract:
This paper reports on the allele and genotype frequencies for five polymerase chain reaction-based loci determined in a sample (n = 295) from Düsseldorf (Germany). The loci are Low-Density-Lipoprotein Receptor, Glycophorin A, Hemoglobin gamma G, D7S8 and Group-Specific Component. Typing was carried out by using the AmpliType PM PCR amplification and typing kit. The loci were tested for possible divergences from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (HWE). The gene frequencies found can be used in forensic analyses and paternity tests. The data from Düsseldorf were compared with six other studies having been published up today.
