Use of X‐linked short tandem repeat loci in routine parentage casework

Abstract: In recent times the study of X chromosome haplotypes has been shown to be useful in parentage testing where the alleged father is absent and where only his close relatives are available for testing. This work demonstrates that such studies can also prove valuable in the testing of standard trios and duos in cases where there only a few genetic inconsistencies amongst the loci tested, making it difficult to distinguish between paternal mutations and a close relative of the alleged father being the biologic fath… Show more

“…Silveira et al (2007) expediram casos com resultados inconclusivos devido à presença de mutações paternas quando analisaram quatro complexos casos de paternidade, envolvendo dois trios (mãe/filha/suposto pai) e duas duplas (filha/suposto pai). A alternativa encontrada para a solução foi analisar oito marcadores X-STRs em todos os casos, sendo que o haplótipo dos supostos pais mostrou-se diferente dos apresentados pelas supostas filhas, concluindo assim, como exclusão de paternidade.…”

“…A alternativa encontrada para a solução foi analisar oito marcadores X-STRs em todos os casos, sendo que o haplótipo dos supostos pais mostrou-se diferente dos apresentados pelas supostas filhas, concluindo assim, como exclusão de paternidade. Em casos de inconsistência genética comprovada após a análise dos cromossomos autossômicos, a análise do cromossomo X torna-se um importante aliado na conclusão desses casos (SILVEIRA et al, 2007).…”

“…STRs of the X chromosome have enormous value compared to other genetic markers such as normal chromosomes, Y chromosomes, and mitochondria because of the unique genetic characteristics of the X chromosome. X-chromosome STRs (X-STRs) are important for individual identification and paternity testing, which play important roles in forensic science (Ayres and Powley, 2005;Silveira et al, 2007;Datta et al, 2012). A study by Edward et al (1991) identified the HumAR locus as the first X-chromosome STR loci used.…”
