Abstract
A sample population of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was tested for D6S132, D7S467, and D17S26 VNTR loci to determine the fixed-bin frequencies of alleles. RFLP analysis was obtained by HaeIII-digested genomic DNA. T he three VNTR loci meet Hardy-Weinberg expectations, and there is no e vidence for association of alleles between the VNTR loci. The frequenc y data can be used in forensic analysis, in paternity tests and to est imate the frequency of a DNA profile in the general Brazilian populati on. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
