Abstract excerpt
Use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci has become widely used in genetic typing. Unfortunately, preferential amplification of small allelic products relative to large allelic products may result in incorrect or ambiguous typing in a het...
