title: [Identification of a rare allele FGA-13 in Guangdong Han population].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report on a rare allele FGA-13 identified in Guangdong Han population.
  
  
  METHODS
  The rare allele was detected by PCR-STR and DNA sequencing.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The core repeat sequence of rare allele FGA-OL is [TTTC]₃[TTTT][TTCT][CTTT]₅ [CTCC][TTCC]₂, which has been determined as FGA-13.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The rare allele FGA-13 is also present in Guangdong Han population. This is significant for personal identification and paternity testing.
