title: [Identification of a rare allele of FGA-13].
abstract: 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.
