A finding in genetic polymorphism analysis study: A case of non-mosaic 47, xxx without manifestations

A large number of short tandem repeat (STR) markers spanning the entire human X chromosome have been described and established for use in forensic genetic testing, kinship analyses and identification of complicated relationships [1,2]. The X-STRs are used as markers in identification of the genetic information of populations [3-6].The use of autosomal markers is a typical strategy to disclose population patterns, as these markers account for both paternal and maternal inheritance. Nevertheless, X-Chromosome is gaining significant importance in population and forensic genetic studies due to the special transmission property because it is transmitted between both sexes in each generation [3-6].
