Abstract:
The two STR systems HumTPO and HumLPL were investigated in eight human populations (Moroccans, Ovambos, Papuans, Australian aborigines, Germans, Turks, Japanese and Chinese). After electrophoresis, seven and eight alleles were identified in the HumTPO and HumLPL systems, respectively. In each population, no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed, but considerable differences in phenotype frequencies of each system were found between major ethnic groups.
