TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Possible applications of Y chromosome STRs in examination of abortion tissue JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Schmidt, Ulrike A1 - Meier, Nicola A1 - Weisser, Hans-Joachim A1 - Knoblich, Annette A1 - Graw, Matthias SP - 42 EP - 47 VL - 211 IS - 1-2 N2 - By application of Y-chromosomal STRs, DNA analysis of abortion material can be considerably facilitated since great excess of maternal DNA is tolerated without disturbing the Y-STR amplification. If paternity can't be excluded on the basis of the Y-STR haplotype, further examinations must follow, e.g. autosomal STR analysis. For this purpose, histological preparation of the abortion tissue might still be necessary. Different Y-chromosomal haplotypes of embryo and putative father usually lead to an exclusion from paternity. Based on four case examples, the feasibility of this method is discussed.
