Polymorphic DNA arising from variations in the number of short tandem repeats accounts for many of the hypervariable regions detected in the human genome (Nakumura et. al., 1987). For this preliminary study we have analysed 3 such loci and have determined the size range and frequency distribution of the VNTR alleles in the South African Caucasoid, Cape Coloured, Xhosa and Khoi-San populations.
