Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), amplified DNA fragments and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to investigate the STR locus HumVWA in a Qatari population sample (n = 200). Seven alleles were identified with frequencies ranging from 0.0125 to 0.3175. The distribution of genotypes fits the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The HumVWA system shows a power of discrimination of 0.9290 and a chance of paternity exclusion of 60.1% in the population studied.
