Abstract

We used second generation sequencing (SGS) to examine sequence variation and mutational patterns in complex STR loci in Danish paternity cases. Four STR loci, D2S1338, D3S1358, D12S391 and D21S11, were sequenced in 45 samples from 15 confirmed trios with genetic inconsistencies between one of the parents and the child in either the D2S1338 or the D3S1358 loci. In 12 of the 15 cases, SGS revealed the allele that had mutated from the parent. In total, 61 different alleles were found in the 30 unrelated individuals. The highest variation was observed in the D12S391 locus and the lowest one in the D3S1358 locus. The four STR loci are good candidate loci for future SGS kits for forensic genetic investigations.
