The analysis of Y chromosome polymorphisms has become common place for the identification of male component in forensic cases. In male/female mixtures of many rape cases, Y-STRs are also very useful for the determination of contributors’ number. During the analyses of 17 Y-STR haplotypes for forensic applications using the AmpFlSTR® YfilerTM system, a number of null and duplicated alleles (40 out of 2144 subjects) were discovered. Interestingly, two haplotypes should focus the attention on forensic interpretation of Y-STR haplotype profiles, because multiple mutational events at various loci can be interpreted as a wrong mixed or allele drop-out profile.
Key words : Y chromosome STR, AmpFlSTR® YfilerTM system, null allele, duplicated allele, database
