Population genetic studies were carried out on Caucasians from souther
n Turkey (n = 204 individuals) using the short tandem repeal (STR) sys
tems HumTHO1, HumVWA and HumACTBP2. After electrophoresis in polyacryl
amide gels, 6 alleles could be identified for HumTHO1, 7 alleles for V
WA and 26 alleles for ACTBP2. No significant deviations from Hardy-Wei
nberg equilibrium could be observed.
