Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo report on a rare allele FGA-13 identified in Guangdong Han population.
METHODSThe rare allele was detected by PCR-STR and DNA sequencing.
RESULTSThe 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.
CONCLUSIONThe rare allele FGA-13 is also present in Guangdong Han population. This is significant for personal identification and paternity testing.
