Distribution of HUMACTBP2 (SE33) Alleles in Three North American Populations

Abstract

DNA samples were isolated from unrelated individuals from References three North American populations: Black, Caucasian, and Hispanic, using a modified alkaline lysis method (1). The SE33 locus was amplified using the PowerPlex® ES Monoplex System, SE33 (Promega Corp., Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Amplified DNA was analyzed with an ABI Prism 3100 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Population data were analyzed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (2) and other population parameters with DNA-View software, version 25.05 (3). The complete dataset is available upon request via e-mail from tmr@dnacenter.com.
