Abstract excerpt
When using microsatellite loci for DNA paternity testing, genetic inconsistencies sometimes occur in true trios and duos and may be erroneously attributed to germline mutations of microsatellite alleles. Here, we reported a typical case and discussed the issue of how to find out the cause of a genetic inconsistency. In our case, a genetic inconsistency in a true trio was observed at the D8S1179 locus, where the...
