[Genetic variability and discriminating power of four microsatellite loci in Russian population].

Allele and genotype frequencies of 4 STR loci (LPL, vWA, FES/FPS H F 13B), used in forensic medicine, were analyzed in Russian Siberian population. Genetic and molecular diversity of these polymorphic systems were characterized in comparison with US Caucasoid population. High discriminating power (PD = 0.
