Abstract excerpt
Nine hundred eighteen DNA-confirmed father-son pairs were typed for 16 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) markers by AmpFLSTR® Yfiler™ PCR Amplification kit. In a total of 15,606 allele transmissions, 36 mutations were detected. The average mutation rate across all 16 Y-STR markers was 0.0023 (95 % confidence interval, 0.0016-0.0032). One two-step mutation was found at DYS389II, and all other mutations...
