✦ Synopsis
Allele and genotype frequencies for the HLA-DQa locus were determined for use in forensic analyses in Turkey. The polymerase chain reaction and the reverse dot blot format were employed to detect six different HLA DQa alleles, which were detected among 150 unrelated individuals with allele frequencies ranging from 7% to 26.7%. The distribution of the observed genotypes was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The discrimination power of this system in the Turkish population sample was 0.94, and the allelic diversity was 0.81. This study provides support for the validity of the HLA-DQa procedure for typing forensic samples.
