Abstract

A method for the simultaneous amplification and typing of microsatellites D13S17 and D7S820 by using monocomplex sets GenePrint Fluorescent STR Systems ("Promega Corp.", USA) was worked out. The offered method is accurate, reproductive, sensitive and needs a short time for analysis. Allele frequencies D13S17 and D7S820 for the above mentioned Caucasians were determined on the population sample of 120 persons who were not relatives and who resided in the Ural region of Russia. The genotype frequencies of both locuses in this population sample did not differ statistically from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The aggregate discrimination factor for both locuses amounted to 0.995. The null hypothesis of independence among locuses D13S17 and D7S820 was checked by using an accurate test. No relation was found between alleles of the 2 tested locuses in the population sample of Ural Caucasians. The testing of the null hypothesis of the population homogeneity of allele frequencies of the examined locuses showed, among 5 Caucasian population samples, a reliable difference only for locus D7S802 in case of a couple of an Ural and Polish population sample. Allele frequencies for other couples were homogeneous.
