D17S30 and TP53 VNTR loci polymorphisms in a Turkish population

Hum Biol. 2004 Oct;76(5):785-8. doi: 10.1353/hub.2005.0005.

Abstract

VNTR loci are useful as genetic markers in population genetics, forensics, and chimerism detection because of their high level of variability. In this study we present frequency information for two polymorphic VNTR loci, namely, D17S30 and TP53, which we examined in 100 healthy individuals from a Turkish population.
