Abstract
Population genetic studies were carried out on Caucasians from southern Turkey (n = 204 individuals) using the short tandem repeat (STR) systems HumTHO1, HumVWA and HumACTBP2. After electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels, 6 alleles could be identified for HumTHO1, 7 alleles for VWA and 26 alleles for ACTBP2. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be observed.
