The use of different multiplex PCRs for twin zygosity determination and its application in forensic trace analysis.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan) - 1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

STR typing becomes more and more valuable for different approaches of science. It revolutionized determining of zygosity in twin research and it is very often the only possibility for discrimination in forensic trace analysis. In this study 55 twin pairs from Denmark were genetically investigated to determine their zygosity. For analysis two multiplex PCR kits, the AmpFlSTR Identifiler kit, which comprises 15...
