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