Abstract excerpt
The male-specific Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) is a useful tool in forensic casework. The Y haplotype comprised of 16 loci, which is amplified simultaneously by AmpFlSTR(®) Yfiler(TM) PCR kit and provides strong exculpatory evidence in individual identification. We reported a rare Y-STR profile with a null allele at the DYS448 locus and an off-ladder allele at the DYS456 locus, when genotyping material...
