[Analysis of MS31A in Chinese using MVR-PCR]

Allele-specific MVR-PCR can be performed on genomic DNA to sample the diversity of allelic structure at MS31A (D7S21 locus). Three polymorphic positions in MS31A 5' flanking DNA were typed from 100 unrelated Chinese in this study. The results showed that single alleles could be mapped from genomic DNA in above 80% samples of Chinese in this locus. The distribution of haplotypes of unrelated Chinese was also reported in this paper.
