[Forensic use of polymorphism St 14.1]
Abstract:
The DNA-fragment (St 14.1) from the human X-chromosome recognizes a series of approximately 10 alleles after Taq I digestion. The presence of constant bands simplifies the assignment of the alleles to a definite Kb-size when small differences exist between the alleles. 348 individuals were investigated and included 120 mother/child combinations. The verification of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium gave a value of 32 in the chi square test by 20 degrees of freedom and therefore a P-value of 95-97.5. The allele frequencies range from 1%-40% with an expected exclusion rate of 77.3% (for mother/daughter combinations).

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
