A study of the short tandem repeat systems HUMVWA and HUMTH01 in an Austrian population sample.

The genotype distributions for the short tandem repeat systems (STRs) HUMVWA and HUMTH01 have been studied in 128 unrelated Caucasians fromêAustria. The allelic distributions were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The heterozygosities were 0.82 and 0.81, whereas the mean exclusion chance was 0.62 and 0.55, respectively. In one person, a VWA-allele consisting of 11 repeats was found.
