GREEK CYPRIOT ALLELE AND GENOTYPE FREQUENCIES FOR AMPLITYPE(R) PM-DQA1 AND D1S80 LOCI

A sample from the Greek Cypriot population was typed at seven forensic ally important PCR-based loci: LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, GC, HLA-DQA1, a nd D1S80. The results showed that all loci meet Hardy-Weinberg expecta tions and that there is no evidence for association of alleles between loci. Allelic frequency distributions at all loci, except HLA-DQA1 an d two D1S80 alleles, were similar to those of U.S. Caucasians. Greek C ypriot population databases have been created and can be used for fore nsic analyses to estimate the frequency of a multiple locus DNA profil e.
