We report the allele and genotype frequencies in a sample of an unrelated native Kuwaiti population determined by the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse dot-blot analysis. This technique, involving the use of commercially available AmpliType HLA-DQ alpha forensic DNA amplification and typing kit, has permitted the definition of six alleles and 21 genotypes in a sample of 220 people. The allelic frequencies are in the range 5.7-27.5%. This locus demonstrated a heterozygosity of 0.80 with an allelic diversity of 0.81 and the power of discrimination (PD) was 0.93. The distribution of observed genotypes conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus indicating genetic equilibrium of the different variants. This population data should permit the use of HLA-DQ alpha marker for individual identification in forensic casework.
