Gene fragment analysis of the 3’ VNTR locus (Figure 1) was found to be a simple and a rapid method for high-throughput genotyping. The data obtained proved to be highly variable in the Kuwaiti population with at least 43 different genotypes observed comprising 11 alleles ranging from as little as 31 repeats to as high as 51. In the derived diallelic classification, the most common genotype observed was that for the homozygous medium allele (n = 655, 82.39%) followed by the heterozygous (n = 116, 14.59%) and the least common was for the homozygous long allele (n = 24, 3.02%). The genotype frequencies for the derived classification of the M and L allele were found to deviate from the HWE (p = 0.013) contributing to the observed low mean heterozygosity value of 0.15 (Table 3). The deviation may also be the outcome of the cut-off values used in assigning the M and L alleles.
