Association of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms on 8 candidate genes in dopaminergic pathway with schizophrenia in Croatian population.
To perform a comprehensive evaluation of association of common genetic variants in candidate genes in the dopaminergic pathway with schizophrenia in a sample from Croatian population. ⋯ Common genetic variants in genes involved in the dopaminergic pathway are associated with schizophrenia in the populations of Caucasian descent.

Genetic polymorphism and haplotype analysis of 4 tightly linked X-STR duos in Koreans.
To investigate genetic polymorphism and haplotypes of tightly linked X-chromosomal short tandem repeat (X-STR) clusters in Koreans. ⋯ Four X-STR duos in the linkage group 1-4 will be able to provide a powerful tool for solving complex kinship cases in Koreans. However, to increase the haplotype diversity in the linkage group 4, it will be useful to discover a new marker for Asians that can serve as an adequate substitute for DXS7423 or at least complement the existing linkage duo of DXS10134-DXS7423.

Population data for 15 short tandem repeat loci from Wallachia Region, South Romania.
To determine allele frequencies' distribution for 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci in a population sample of 1910 unrelated individuals from the region of Wallachia, South Romania. ⋯ According to 15 analyzed STR loci, the population of Wallachia region was found to be genetically more similar to Slavic populations of Croatia and Serbia than to other surrounding populations.
