An isolated exclusion in the FGA system

An isolated exclusion in the FGA system

In a paternity test with 35 short tandem repeats (STRs), an isolated exclusion for the FGA system was observed (probability of paternity >99.999%). Different mechanisms suitable to explain this finding like polymerase slippage, primer mismatch, a deletion of the FGA locus or gene conversion after...

Description
Summary:In a paternity test with 35 short tandem repeats (STRs), an isolated exclusion for the FGA system was observed (probability of paternity >99.999%). Different mechanisms suitable to explain this finding like polymerase slippage, primer mismatch, a deletion of the FGA locus or gene conversion after formation of the zygote are discussed.
