Abstract

Allele frequencies for the 15 STRs included in the AmpFlSTR Identifiler kit were determined in a population sample of 212 unrelated individuals of the Byelorussian minority residing in the northeastern Poland. All loci, except TPOX, met Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Exact tests disequilibrium analysis revealed 5 departures from independence out of 105 pairwise comparisons.
