    Abstract:
    Allele frequencies for the VNTR locus D4S43 were determined in a Japanese population sample by the polymerase chain reaction. Nine different alleles containing 1-15 repeats of the basic 14 bp unit were observed in 156 unrelated Japanese. The most common allele was one repeat unit (62.82%), and the next common alleles were those with 11 (14.42%) and 7 repeat units (12.50%). We estimated that D4S43 locus has a heterozygosity index of 0.56, a mean exclusion chance of 0.32, a discrimination rate of 0.76, and a polymorphic information content of 0.52. No evidence of significant deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium was found in the Japanese population data.
