ESTIMATION OF ALLELE FREQUENCIES OF THE H YPERVARIABLE LOCUS D17S30 IN A SAMPLE FROM SOME SIBERIAN POPULATIONS OF EUROPEAN ORIGIN

Frequencies of alleles of the polymorphic locus D17S30 were estimated in a sample of 121 unrelated Siberian inhabitants of European origin. The main method of study was polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The cons ecutive use of two pairs of primers allowed increasing of the specific ity and sensitivity of the amplification reaction. The results of this study may be of theoretical interest for studies in population geneti cs. They may also find practical application in forensic medical exami nation and,in the diagnosis of some genetic abnormalities.
