摘要: Abstract Short Tandem Repeat (STR) typing is routinely used in forensic casework, paternity disputes and the detection of aneuploidies. Anomalous peak patterns are occasionally encountered STR due to genetic variations, mutations and, other abnormalities. We report here a rare tri-allelic variant at D8S1179 locus 6-month-old female child, observed during routine testing Indian Tamil population. DNA eluted from blood samples collected on FTA elute microcards were subjected for autosomal sex loci using commercial AmpFlSTR Identifiler Plus kit Promega PowerPlex® Fusion kit. Capillary electrophoresis was carried out ABI 3130xl Genetic Analyzer genotyped GeneMapper ID-X Software v1.5. Copy number variations aneuploidy status chromosome 8 analyzed Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) Prenatal BoBs assays. In this case exclusion, child displayed Type II pattern (10,13,14) locus. addition, mother an abnormal 10,14 genotype (with heterozygous imbalance - 2:1) suggesting 10,10,14 pattern. MLPA prenatal analyses did not detect any abnormalities 8. These results suggest intrachromosomal segmental duplication event (8q24.13) as reason behind its inheritance. Understanding anomalous cases such these can help appropriate interpretation typing.
