[Evaluation of allele frequency of the hypervariable locus D17S30 in a sample of populations of European origin from a number of Siberian regions].

Frequencies of alleles of the polymorphic locus D17S30 were estimated in a sample of 121 unrelated Siberian inhabitants of European origin. The main method of study was polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The consecutive use of two pairs of primers allowed increasing of the specificity and sensitivity of the amplification reaction. The results of this study may be of theoretical interest for studies in population genetics. They may also find practical application in forensic medical examination and in the diagnosis of some genetic abnormalities.
