Observations and investigation of STR genotype inconsistencies due to mutations, silent alleles, and uniparental disomy in South African populations.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Jun 2026

Swanepoel David N, Fisher Megan C, Wessels Letecia, Ehlers Karen

Abstract excerpt

The fundamental concept of parentage and kinship testing is that a child inherits DNA in accordance with the principles of Mendelian inheritance. A child receives half of its DNA from each parent. However, sometimes the observed genotype patterns between a child and its purported parents do not fully align with Mendelian inheritance, which can result in a false conclusion regarding parentage. Mutations, silent...
