PCR amplification of part of the XY homologous amelogenin gene with a single primer pair
has been used as a sex identification test because it generates different length products …

The amelogenin test integrated in most commercial polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
multiplex kits is routinely used in the forensic field for gender determination of DNA samples …

We have identified a family in which three females carry both the male and female variants
of the amelogenin gene. The father of the female proband types male, as expected. The …

Study of gender markers is a part of routine forensic genetic examination of crime scene and
reference samples, paternity testing and personal identification. Amelogenin locus as a …

Sex determination tests based on Amelogenin gene as part of commercial PCR multiplex
reaction kits have been widely applied in forensic DNA analysis. Mutations that cause …

Sex determination is routinely performed in forensic casework using the amelogenin-based
sex test. The human amelogenin gene resides on homologous regions of the sex …

Dropout of the amelogenin Y-specific allele due to an interstitial deletion of the Yp involving
the amelogenin Y locus (AMELY) can cause misidentification of sex genotype with …

Background Rare failures in amelogenin-based gender typing of individuals have been
observed globally. In this study, we report the deletion of a large fragment of the amelogenin …

When aligning the human amelogenin X (AmelX)-gene with the human amelogenin Y
(AmelY)-gene, 19 regions of absolute homology ranging in size from 22 to 80 bp, 5 deletions …

Over the past few years, the Australian forensic science community has adopted a common
methodology and technology in the application of DNA profiling for investigative and …
