D5S818 Typing Discrepancy Between PowerPlex(®) Fusion and Other STR Kits Including GlobalFiler(®) Caused by a One-base Deletion in 31 Nucleotides Upstream of the Repeat Region.

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeat (STR) typing is widely used in forensic investigation. When the same DNA sample is analyzed with different STR typing kits, a typing discrepancy is occasionally observed. In this study, we examined the cause of a typing discrepancy in a sample at D5S818 locus. This sample was designated as 10, 12 using Identifiler(®) , Identifiler(®) Plus, GlobalFiler(®) , PowerPlex(®) 16HS, and PowerPlex(®)...
