Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo report on a rare D13S317-off-ladder (OL) allele identified in an ethnic Han Chinese from Hainan.
METHODSThe rare allele D13S317-OL was detected with a short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR method and DNA sequencing.
RESULTSThe core repeat sequence of the rare allele was found to be [TATC]5.
CONCLUSIONThe rare D13S317-5 allele also exists among ethnic Hans from Hainan, which may have a significant value for personal identification and paternity testing.
