Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo identify a rare allele in the FGA locus in a Hainan Li ethnic family.
METHODSShort tandem repeat-PCR (STR-PCR) and DNA sequencing were used to detect the allele.
RESULTSA rare allele in the FGA locus was identified. It is FGA-13.
CONCLUSIONThis finding enriched the gene polymorphism database, and may improve the ability of individual identification.
