A collaborative work was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group (GEP-ISFG) to estimate Y-STR mutation rates. Seventeen Y chromosome STR loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, DYS635 [GATA C4], GATA H4, A10) were analyzed in a sample of 3,026 father/son pairs. Among 27,029 allele transfers, 54 mutations observed, with an overall rate across 17 1.998 × 10–3 (95% CI, 1.501 2.606 10–3). With just one...
DNA profiling with sets of highly polymorphic autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) markers has been applied in various aspects human identification forensic casework for nearly 20 years. However, some cases complex kinship investigation, the information provided by conventionally used STR is not enough, often resulting low likelihood ratio (LR) calculations. In these cases, it becomes necessary to increment number loci under analysis reach adequate LRs. Recently, proposed that single...
The aim of this work was to test a 52 SNP-plex in our laboratory order apply it casework cases, namely kinship involving relatives the true father leading low Parentage Index (PI) values, and unusual cases such as paraffin-embedded tissue samples or other severely degraded related some identification cases. For this, standard DNA used, artificially by digestion with DNase I different UV exposure times. STR previously-analysed were revisited studied. All typed for SNP ID 52plex using...
