Abstract

Allele frequencies of four VNTR regions (loci D1S80, D17S30, APOB and IGHJ) were determined in 120 unrelated Russian individuals living in Moscow. The high level of length polymorphism was discovered among alleles of these VNTRs. The genotype distribution of these hypervariable regions was established on the basis of experimental data. The comparative analysis showed the likeness between the allele distributions of these VNTRs among Russians and other groups of Caucasians living in Europe and North America.
