Abstract

Populations of white Caucasians, Afro-Caribbeans and Asians residing within the UK have been analysed at 4 different hypervariable loci. A computerised system was used to store and to analyse the data. Simulation experiments were carried out in order to determine whether there was any evidence for population stratification, which would lead to non-independence of allelic distributions.
