Abstract
The genotype distributions for the short tandem repeat systems (STRs) HUMVWA and HUMTH01 have been studied in 128 unrelated Caucasians fromêAus-tria. The allelic distributions were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The heterozygosities were 0.82 and 0.81, whereas the mean exclusion chance was 0.62 and 0.55, respectively. In one person, a VWA-allele consisting of 11 repeats was found.
