Rs. Mouraneto et B. Budowle, FIXED BIN POPULATION-DATA FOR THE VNTR LOCI D1S7, D2S44, D4S139, D5S110, D10S28, AND D14S13 IN A POPULATION-SAMPLE FROM RIO-DE-JANEIRO, BRAZIL, Journal of forensic sciences, 42(5), 1997, pp. 926-928
Fixed bin frequencies for the VNTR loci D1S7, D2S44, D4S139, D5S110, D
10S28, and D14S13 were determined in a Rio de Janeiro sample populatio
n. The data were generated by RFLP analysis of HaeIII-digested genomic
DNA and chemiluminescent detection. The six VNTR loci meet Hardy-Wein
berg expectations, and there is no evidence for association of alleles
between the VNTR loci. The frequency data can be used in forensic ana
lyses and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile i
n the general Brazilian population.
