M. Gene et al., SUITABILITY OF THE YMZ22 (D17S5) VNTR POLYMORPHISM FOR LEGAL MEDICINEINVESTIGATIONS IN THE POPULATION OF CATALONIA (SPAIN), International journal of legal medicine, 107(4), 1995, pp. 222-224
Allele and phenotype frequencies for the YNZ22 locus were determined i
n a population sample from Catalonia (Spain) using the polymerase chai
n reaction (PCR). In 311 unrelated individuals, 14 alleles and 56 phen
otypes were observed. No deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was
found. The observed heterozygosity was 81.35%. The YNZ22 polymorphism
is useful for paternity testing with a CE value of 70% and an Essen-M
oller value of 9.35 (log.)
