Résumé
In this study, relative allele frequencies of 4 short tandem repeats [STR] loci in 47 unrelated subjects from Egyptian population as a primary step for forming a nationwide database was reported. The sample represented various geographical, ethnic and religious backgrounds that constituted contemporary Egyptian population. DNA was extracted from whole blood using salting out method. The allele patterns in Egyptian sample showed high levels of heterozygosity over 74% in 3 loci. The interpopulation differences were least detected with Caucasians and most with Asian and Hispanic Americans
