DNA polymorphism in Greenland. Allele and profile frequencies in a Greenland population sample using the VNTR probes
1Institute of Forensic Genetics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Abstract:
Allele frequencies obtained by RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) analysis using the VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) single locus probes MS1, MS31, MS43a and YNH24 on HinfI-restricted DNA in a Greenland Eskimo (155 individuals) and a Danish Caucasian (616 individuals) population sample are reported. For MS1 the frequency distributions were almost identical whereas minor but significant differences were seen for the other 3 probes. The distribution of the frequencies of 139 Greenland complete DNA profiles was estimated using the Greenland and the Danish database. The average profile frequencies obtained with the Greenland database were approximately 10 times higher than the estimates obtained with the Danish database.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
