CHAPTER SEVEN – Genetic investigations

VWA, TPOX, D3S1358 and D2S441. When investigating the ancient bones, this set of markers proved to be insufficient, and therefore another eight A-STR markers were added, in such a manner that instead of TPOX we used the marker D10S1248. The newer markers were also chosen based on international experience.

Possible chromosomal localizations of A-STR markers:

2, 3,4, 5, 7, 8,11,12,13,16,18,19, 21

Example

Paternal alleles

Figure 28. One of the possible hereditary patterns of A-STR marker D13S317. The alleles marked with black are maternal, the red ones are paternal in origin. The paternal D13S317 marker consists of 9 or 14 repeating units (TATC), the maternal marker consists of the same 8 or 13 repeating markers. Only one paternal and one maternal allele is inherited, and they are distributed randomly.
