To address issues related to unbalanced tri-allelic patterns, an example at the D10S1248 locus characterized by the sum of heights of alleles 13 and 15 approximately equal to allele 14 was intensively investigated. The coexistence of these three alleles was confirmed by profiling the rs2246512-D10S1248 marker using fluorescently labelled primers and allelic sequencing. Multi-tissue genotyping revealed that this pattern had chimeric characteristics, and pedigree analysis found that allele 13 or allele 14 were inherited to offspring independently of the other two alleles. These evidences suggest that the pattern should stem from a somatic mutation in early embryonic development and that peak height ratio is not an accurate indicator of mutation time point and direction. The rs2246538-D10S1248-rs2246512 marker was subsequently used to determine the mutation from allele 15 to allele 13. Notably, allele 13 with the lowest peak height was misidentified as a stutter peak when genotyped using next generation sequencing.

Short tandem repeat analysis is challenging when dealing with unbalanced mixtures in forensic cases due to the presence of stutter peaks and large amplicons. In this research, we propose a novel genetic marker called DIP-TriSNP, which combines deletion/insertion polymorphism (DIP) with tri-allelic single nucleotide polymorphism in less than 230 bp length of human genome. Based on multiplex PCR and SNaPShot, a panel, including 14 autosomal DIP-TriSNPs and one Y chromosomal DIP-SNP, had been developed and applied to genotyping 102 unrelated Han Chinese individuals in Sichuan of China and simulated a mixture study.

Monozygotic twins can be co-identified by genotyping of short tandem repeats (STRs); however, for distinguishing them, STR genotyping is ineffective, especially in the case of murder. Here, a rarely occurring tri-allelic pattern in the vWA locus (16, 18, 19) was identified only in the DNA of one identical twin, which could help to exonerate the innocent twin in a murder charge. This mutation was defined as primary through genotyping of the family and could be detected in blood, buccal and semen samples from the individual; however, two alternative allele-balanced di-allelic patterns (16, 18 or 16, 19) were detected in hair root sheath cells.
