title: Characterization of two unusual allele variants at the STR locus ACTBP2 (SE33).
abstract: Two uncommon allelic variants have been observed at the locus ACTBP2 (SE33) and both were located far outside the ladder range of commercially available typing kits. The short variant showed a 60-bp deletion upstream of the 5'-flanking region with a typical type I repeat structure, which actually would have to be assigned as allele 16. The long allele revealed a typical type III sequence structure that has to be designated as allele 41.
