Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations to STR alleles are not well understood in terms of the mechanism(s) underlying such mutations or their relative frequency among different alleles at the locus. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A cytosine/thymosine (C/T) polymorphism was discovered 13 nucleotides upstream from the 5'-end of the tandem array of the D5S818 locus (-13SNP). The -13SNP coincidentally creates a restriction site...
