HUNGARIAN POPULATION-DATA FOR THE STR SYSTEMS TH01 AND VWA

Population data studies for THO1 and VWA were carried out on a Hungari an caucasian population sample of 244 unrelated individuals. We found 7 and 8 different alleles for THO1 and VWA, respectively. Using a high resolution/non-denaturing horizontal PAGE system no variations in the mobility of alleles were detected except for the allele 14 in VWA. Th e allele frequencies observed are similar to those reported in the lit erature for European caucasians, The genotype distributions meet Hardy -Weinberg expectations for both STR systems.
