Distribution of ApoBII, MCT118 (D1S80), YNZ22 (D17S30), and COL2A1 Amp-FLPs (amplified fragment length polymorphisms) in Caucasoid population of Slovakia.

Amp-FLPs are simple and rapid tools for genetic characterization of both individuals and populations. This paper presents allele frequencies of four Amp-FLPs (ApoBII, MCT118, YNZ22, and COL2A1) based on the analysis of more than 100 unrelated Caucasoid Slovaks. The proportion of heterozygotes observed and expected, and the probability that two individuals taken at random from the population would be identical in a given polymorphism (PI), was determined for each Amp-FLP.
