Dutch Caucasian population data on the loci LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, and GC

Italian population data on the loci LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8 and GC

Allele and genotype frequencies for the five loci LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8 and GC were determined for 374 unrelated Italians using a multiplex PCR-amplification and typing commercial kit. The distribution of the genotype frequencies showed no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The combined power of discrimination and chance of exclusion for all five loci were 0.999 and 0.702, respectively. A test for homogeneity was performed and no significant differences were observed among the Caucasian population samples.

Hungarian population data on the loci HLA-DQ alpha, LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8 and GC

Population data studies for HLA-DQ alpha and PM loci (LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, GC) were carried out on a Hungarian Caucasian population sample of 163 unrelated individuals. Whereas the observed PM allele frequencies were similar to those reported for Caucasians, significant differences were found for HLA-DQ alpha between the Hungarian and some Caucasian population data. All six loci meet Hardy-Weinberg expectations and there is no evidence for association between any pairs of loci.
