Genetic polymorphisms at four STR loci from the HLA region in a Venezuelan population

J Forensic Sci. 2006 May;51(3):703-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1556-4029.2006.00145.x.

Abstract

Whole blood samples from 74 unrelated healthy individuals were collected. The donors' sample included Venezuelan mestizos from various regions of the country, but mostly from the resident population of Caracas City. A Venezuelan mestizo is the offspring of a mating between a native Venezuelan and a person born in Europe, mainly in Spain.
