STR null alleles complicate parentage testing in South Africa.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde - 11 Oct 2013

Lane Anthony B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Null alleles complicate parentage testing because they do not contribute positively to phenotypes.Objectives. To survey South African populations for null alleles at short tandem repeat (STR) loci used in parentage testing. METHODS: Paternity case data were scanned for apparent contradictions compared with Mendelian inheritance that could be due to null alleles. Estimates of null allele frequencies...
