Abstract excerpt
Misassignment between DNA samples and clinical or epidemiological data may compromise the results of genetic association studies. Genotyping in replicates or controlling for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium cannot identify misassignments caused by sample mix-ups. DNA-based sex identification (sex typing) is currently the best strategy to identify mix-ups. Here we review the available methods and present validated...
