D1S1171: a new highly variable short tandem repeat polymorphism.

This study reports the evaluation of the STR locus D1S1171 (GDB: 312934) for forensic purposes, which was investigated by PCR amplification and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 141 unrelated Austrians. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were observed. The mean exclusion chance (MEC) was 0.
