Abstract
With the aim of using Y-chromosomal polymorphic markers in Danish crime cases and deficiency paternity cases, a validation study of a Y–STR pentaplex was performed. The Y–STR pentaplex included the systems DYS19, DYS389I/II, DYS390 and DYS393. In order to obtain frequency data, a population study of 200 male Danes and 91 male Eskimoes was performed. In order to validate the Y–STR pentaplex for use in crime cases, various ratios of mixtures of DNA from two individuals (male and female or male and male) were investigated. Mixed stains from Danish crime cases were used to compare the sensitivity of the Y–STR pentaplex with that of autosomal STR analysis.
