Mutation rate in human microsatellites: influence of the structure and length of the tandem repeat.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Jun 1998

Brinkmann B, Klintschar M, Neuhuber F, Hühne J, Rolf B

Abstract excerpt

In 10,844 parent/child allelic transfers at nine short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci, 23 isolated STR mismatches were observed. The parenthood in each of these cases was highly validated (probability >99.97%). The event was always repeat related, owing to either a single-step mutation (n=22) or a doub...
