  • Title: [Use of amelogenin test for DNA sex appurtenance in analysis of mixed biological traces].
    Author: Isaenko MV, Ivanov PL.
    Journal: Sud Med Ekspert; 2000; 43(4):33-8. PubMed ID: 10961133.
    Abstract:
    Theoretical and experimental study of amelogenin tests system for identification of DNA sex appurtenance has been performed. In many cases amplification can fail to reflect the true quantitative ratio between the mixture components during typing sex-specific variants of amelogenin gene in DNA preparations of mixed sex appurtenance. In practical studies these properties of the amelogenin system can lead to difficulties and errors in interpretation of the results of forensic medical expert evaluations, and we therefore studied the use of amelogenin DNA test for identification of sex appurtenance of mixed biological traces and compared the characteristics of autosomal PDAF system and amelogenin system for sex identification in analysis of DNA mixtures.
