Allele frequencies for the autosomal tetranucleotide short tandem repeat loci D4S2366, D6S474, D14S608, D19S246, D20S480, D21S226 and D22S689 were investigated in a sample of 189 unrelated German individuals using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction approach. The loci showed no significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium except for D14S608. All genotyped alleles were cloned and sequenced, and an allelic nomenclature consistent with the ISFH recommendations was defined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
