1483 cases of paternity test with STR loci mutation / 法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To observe and analyze the mutation phenomenon of 17 STR loci of PowerPlex 18D Kit in paternity test of Yunnan population.@*METHODS@#The DNA was extracted by Chelex-100 method. The PowerPlex 18D Kit was used to test 1,483 cases and their conclusions of paternity tests were verified.@*RESULTS@#In the 1,483 cases, 1,047 were parental triplet and 436 were uniparental diad. A total of 2,530 times of meiosis was observed. One STR locus mutation was observed in 24 cases. And 11 mutation loci were found in the 17 STR loci.@*CONCLUSION@#STR loci mutation is a common phenomenon. We should collect the data of STR loci mutation, choose other good polymorphism, low mutation rate of genetic markers, to ensure that the results are accurate and reliable.
