Abstract
The STR loci HUMTH01, HUMPTPOX, HUMCSF1PO, HUMF13A01, HUMFES/FPS and HUMVWFA31 are widely used in forensic casework analyses and population data are necessary to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile. This paper presents the results of a survey aimed to investigate the allele frequency distribution of these loci in an important Spanish population (Aragon, North Spain). Statistical analysis to determine whether allele frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium was carried out and also to obtain some parameters of medico-legal interest. There was no evidence of association between the alleles of the loci. The Aragonese sample does not differ substantially from other Caucasian populations.
