ANALYSIS OF THE SHORT TANDEM REPEAT SYSTEMS HUMVWA AND HUMF13B IN A POPULATION-SAMPLE FROM NORTHERN THAILAND

Two STR systems (HumVWA, HumF13B) were analysed in a northern Thailand population sample using PCR and gel electrophoresis. No deviations fr om Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed, A rare VWA allele was det ected, sequenced and the molecular structure is presented. Interpopula tion comparisons revealed that the Thai allele frequencies were most s imilar to data from other Asian populations.
