However, incorrect STR typing can have a significant impact on forensic outcomes.Aim: In this study, we detected drop-out alleles at the SE33 locus in a putative father-son pair using the Microreader™ 28 A ID System. This result could lead to a false conclusion of non-paternity.Subjects and methods: To investigate the cause of the drop-out alleles, we developed a nest and touch-down PCR program for Sanger sequencing of the SE33 locus. Subsequently, we investigated the mutation frequency in 300 unrelated individuals and reviewed the results of 429 paternity tests.Results: The results showed that the frequency of the G > T mutation at this locus was less than 0.01, which is a novel and rare mutation. Our analysis revealed a novel G > T mutation in the primer-binding region of both samples, which was a rare single-nucleotide mutation site in the Chinese population. This variation was found to be responsible for the drop-out alleles observed in the samples.Conclusion: Our findings have important implications for optimising primer design and constructing DNA databases for forensic analysis.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"51 1","pages":"2418591"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142570355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were only 5.3% Roma subjects without at least one risky allele in comparison with 10.1% in the majority population (p < 0.01).Conclusions: It is possible that different genetic background plays an important role in increased prevalence of COVID-19 in the Roma minority.","PeriodicalId":50765,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Human Biology","volume":"51 1","pages":"2341727"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141077301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, NT players covered 113% greater sprinting distances (p = 0.033, Cohen's d 0.63) and performed 62% more high-intensity accelerations (p = 0.015, Cohen's d 0.90) than FT players.

However, there has been limited examination of the relationship between these biases.Aim: This study investigated the presence, strength, and independence of relative age and biological maturity selection biases in Gaelic football.Subjects and methods: A total of 247 male players from U14 to U16, from two talent academies were assessed for relative age (decimal age (DA)) and biological maturity (discrepancy between biological and chronological age (BA-CA)).Results: Relative age effects (RAE) were observed in the U14 (DA = 0.62, d = 0.40) and U15 squads (DA = 0.57. d = 0.26) only. A bias towards advanced maturity status was present at U14 (BA-CA = 0.60, d = 0.83), U15 (BA-CA = 0.78, d = 0.89), and U16 (BA-CA, d = 1.01). There was a trivial (U14, r(83) = -0.210; U15, r(88) = 0.060) and low (U16, r(76) = 0.352) correlation between relative age and maturity status.Conclusion: Substantial maturity selection biases and, to a lesser degree, relative age biases are evident in youth Gaelic football.
