[Identification of a rare allele of FGA-13].
OBJECTIVE
To identify a rare allele in the FGA locus in a Hainan Li ethnic family.


METHODS
Short tandem repeat-PCR (STR-PCR) and DNA sequencing were used to detect the allele.


RESULTS
A rare allele in the FGA locus was identified. It is FGA-13.


CONCLUSIONS
This finding enriched the gene polymorphism database, and may improve the ability of individual identification.
