Abstract

Allele frequencies were determined for the VNTR locus D1S80 in Hasidic and non-Hasidic Ashkenazi New York City Jewish subpopulations. Samples were amplified via the polymerase chain reaction and underwent genotyping using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the Hasidic population 14 alleles were observed as opposed to 19 alleles in the non-Hasidic community. Both populations were tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency data obtained can be used for comparison to other populations and for allele and genotype frequency estimates in genetic marker profiling of evidentiary specimens.
