A D19S433 primer binding site mutation and the frequency in Japanese of the silent allele it causes.

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeat studies are powerful tools for parentage analysis and for identification of missing persons, victims of murder, and victims of mass fatalities when reference samples are unavailable. The primer in the Identifiler kit failed to amplify an allele at the D19S433 locus, producing a silent ("null") allele.
