title: [Identification of the new allele D18S1364-10 by sequence analysis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify a new allele by analyzing the polymorphism of D18S1364 in Power Plex(TM)16.
  
  
  METHODS
  An abnormal band was found in paternity test by short tandem repeat-PCR, and collected by gel extraction. Then the DNA was amplified, cloned and sequenced.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A fragment containing eight bases less than the minimal allele in the D18S1364 ladder, was found with the core sequence of (ATCT)₆(ATGT)₁(ATCT)₃. The allele was D18S1364-10.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The D18S1364-10 allele was found and reported for the first time in China.
