title: Misinterpretation of results in medico-legal cases due to microdeletion in the Y-chromosome.
abstract: In an alleged rape case, for one male suspect, XX genotype and deletion at four Y-STR loci was noticed. The expressions of 18 Y-linked genes were studied to measure the extent of deletion. No expressions at two loci were observed that might have caused the misinterpretations in forensic casework.
