A population genetic study of the VNTR D1S80 (pMCT118 locus) in 206 individuals from the Galician population in Spain was carried out. PCR amplified DNA were electrophoresed in horizontal polyacrylamide gels and subsequently were visualized by silver staining. Up to 19 alleles in 56 different genotypes were found. This report describes a new allele tentatively named T11 that defines the lower limit of repeats reported for this VNTR. A family study demonstrates autosomal codominant inheritance of this allele. Levels of heterozygosity indexes are about 80%. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed, using the allele binning method (P > 0.3 in all cases). Correspondence analysis shows the usefulness of D1S80 alleles in the genetic profiling of human populations, with the alleles 16, 17, 21, 29, and 31 being of particular interest at different levels of analysis. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Objective: To determine the frequency and etiology of unnecessary prenatal diagnosis for hemoglobinopathies during 12 years of services at a single university center in Thailand.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of prenatal diagnosis during 2009-2021. A total of 4,932 couples at risk and 4,946 fetal specimens, including fetal blood (5.

Prenatal diagnosis of genetic disease requires DNA analysis of fetal tissue of a responsible gene. Accurate diagnosis is useful for the appropriate management of pregnancy. However, maternal contamination of fetal specimens poses a high preanalytical risk of prenatal misdiagnosis.

Here, we describe a reliable and robust method for genotyping individuals by Variable Number of Tandem Repeat (VNTR) analysis in the context of undergraduate laboratory classes. The human D1S80 VNTR locus is used in this protocol as a highly polymorphic marker based on variation in the number of repetitive sequences.

VNTR D1S80 locus genotyping has been largely replaced in forensics by STR. As the statute of limitations on murder cases was abolished in the Republic of Korea in July 2015, the demand for re-analysis of DNA from unresolved murder cases has increased. The National Forensic Service includes several recorded D1S80 genotypes as crucial clues.

Biobanking biological samples involve multiple handling, processing, and labeling steps. Each step may be a source of error, which if unnoticed or uncorrected may have consequences for research. We aimed to develop a simple and inexpensive genotyping method that would be valuable to detect such errors and confirm sample identity.
