ABSTRACT
One of the most necessary tools of today's medical care is the well working database of personal genotypes. It could effectively reduce the increasing expenses because many of the genetic testing could be done only once a life. Any delay in establishing such database would bring not only internal, but also across-border complications due to internationalization of the genetic services. The most modem approach has been applied by the laws which put stress more against abuse than on collecting data. European laws including the Czech Republic seem to be much less progressive. General rules for data storage, and gene banking are still missing in the Czech Republic.

A population study on 10 short tandem repeat (STR) loci was performed on 202 unrelated Czech Caucasians. DNA, initially frozen, was thawed and placed FTA paper. The DNA was purified in situ. DNA was amplified by PCR using the AmpFlSTR SGM Plus amplification kit.

Methods are described for the detection of freemartins. The first step is to measure the length of the vagina, followed, if necessary, by laboratory investigations--blood group, chromosome, or DNA typing.
