Identification of a rare allele FGA-13 in Guangdong Han population / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To report on a rare allele FGA-13 identified in Guangdong Han population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rare allele was detected by PCR-STR and DNA sequencing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The core repeat sequence of rare allele FGA-OL is [TTTC]₃[TTTT][TTCT][CTTT]₅ [CTCC][TTCC]₂, which has been determined as FGA-13.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The rare allele FGA-13 is also present in Guangdong Han population. This is significant for personal identification and paternity testing.</p>
