The purpose of this study was to examine the specific allele combinations of three loci connected with the liver cancers, stomach cancers, hematencephalon and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to explore the feasibility of the research methods. We explored different mathematical methods for statistical analyses to assess the association between the genotype and phenotype. At the same time we still analyses the statistical results of allele combinations of three loci by difference value method and ratio method.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the presence of specific allele combinations of short tandem repeat (STR) loci and the onset of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using a novel methodology.
Genetic research has progressed along with scientific and technological developments. However, it is difficult to identify frequency differences in a particular allele distribution at a single locus. Such differences can be identified by examining the allele combination distribution.

Methods: DNA samples were collected from patients with gastric cancer. Alleles from short tandem repeat loci were determined using the STR Profiler Plus PCR amplification kit (15 STR loci).
To explore combinations of genetic markers and to estimate their joint action, decision trees are built on the basis of marker frequencies in both disease and control groups. Youden's index (0.1-0.
