Abstract excerpt
Capillary electrophoresis is widely used to study short tandem repeats (STRs) in forensic genetics. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying allelic imbalance and inter-kit genotyping discordance at the D12S391 locus in a parentage testing case. The Huaxia Platinum Kit exhibited severe allelic imbalance at the D12S391 locus (alleles '18, 25', peak height ratio = 16.40 %), whereas the...
