Abstract: This article review the application of chi-square test of various data handling methods and exact test in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium testing of human genetic marker in population genetics. The importance of HWE-exact test in multiallelic system was emphasized, especially in the study of forensic VNTR and STR typing.

Key words: population genetics, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, chi-square test, exact test
