Abstract Allele frequencies for nine short tandem repeats (STR) loci: D3S1358, vWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820 were determined in a Japanese population using the AmpF‘STR Profiler PCR amplification kit (Applied biosystems). # 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Population sample: Blood samples were collected from 1200 unrelated individuals in Japan. DNA extraction: DNA was isolated from the blood sample using MagNA Pure LC (Roche Diagnostic). The extracted DNA was quantified by spectrophotometric method. PCR amplification: Multiplex PCR was performed according to manufacture’s recommendation (AmpF‘STR Profiler PCR amplification kit: Applied biosystems) using 0.5–2 ng of template DNA. The samples were amplified using GeneAmp PCR System 9700 thermal cycler (Applied biosystems). Electrophoresis and typing: Amplified products were electrophoresed on an ABI PRISM 310 capillary electrophoresis and were analyzed using Gene Scan analysis software (version 3.1) and genotyper software (version 2.5). Alleles were designated by comparison with the allelic
ladder marker contained in the kit according to the AmpF‘STR Use’s Manual. Result: See Table 1. Analysis of data: Statistical test for fit to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium expectations was performed using the computer program GENEPOP software (version 3.3) [1]. Power of discrimination was calculated following Fisher’s method [2]. Other remarks: Another information on Japanese population samples, which were collected from 206 Japanese, can be found in the previous report [3]. From 1200 samples analyzed in this study, we can find many alleles, which were not reported in the previous report of 206 Japanese population samples [3] (Table 1). This paper follows the guidelines for publication of population data by the journal [4].
