D1S1171: a new highly variable short tandem repeat polymorphism.
This study reports the evaluation of the STR locus D1S1171 (GDB: 312934) for forensic purposes, which was investigated by PCR amplification and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 141 unrelated Austrians. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were observed. The mean exclusion chance (MEC) was 0.677, the discriminating power (DP) was 0.951 and the observed heterozygosity rate was 0.853. An allelic ladder consisting of 10 sequenced alleles (96-132 bp) was constructed. Sequence analysis revealed a GAAA repeat motif. According to the number of tetranucleotide repeats the smallest allele was designated 9 and the largest allele 18.
