Objective:
To identify a new allele by analyzing the polymorphism of D18S1364 in Power Plex(TM)16.
Methods:
An abnormal band was found in paternity test by short tandem repeat-PCR, and collected by gel extraction. Then the DNA was amplified, cloned and sequenced.
Results:
A fragment containing eight bases less than the minimal allele in the D18S1364 ladder, was found with the core sequence of (ATCT)₆(ATGT)₁(ATCT)₃. The allele was D18S1364-10.
Conclusion:
The D18S1364-10 allele was found and reported for the first time in China.
