Genetic analysis of two STR loci (VWA and TPOX) in the Iranian province of Khuzestan.

Objectives: Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases.

Materials And Methods: Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
