Abstract
A population study on the ten short tandem repeat (STR) loci D3S1358, VWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01 and FGA was perfor med on 204 unrelated Austrian Caucasians. The DNA was amplified by multiple x PCR using the AmpFlSTR SGM plus kit. All loci met Hardy-Weinberg expectat ions. The combined power of exclusion for the ten STR loci was 0.999976. Th e results show that these loci are very useful for forensic purposes.
