Abstract excerpt
Sex determination is routinely performed in forensic casework using the amelogenin-based sex test. The human amelogenin gene resides on homologous regions of the sex chromosomes. However, a deletion in the AmelY locus may sometimes lead to gender misidentification. The pentanucleotide microsatellite DXYS156 maps to the pseudoautosomal region of both the sex chromosomes and helps in sex determination. This STR...
