▶Forensic use of Y-chromosome DNA: a general overviewReviewManfred Kayser et al.(2017)· Human Genetics
A comprehensive review of forensic applications of Y-chromosome DNA analysis, including Y-STR haplotyping for paternal lineage identification, paternity and kinship testing, familial searching, and bio-geographic ancestry inference. The paper illustrates these applications through the 14-year investigation of the 1999 Marianne Vaatstra murder case in the Netherlands, which was solved using Y-STR-based DNA dragnet and familial searching. The review discusses various Y-STR markers (9-27 loci), rapidly mutating Y-STRs for better discrimination, Y-SNP haplogroups for ancestry inference, and future directions in forensic Y-chromosome analysis.
About UTY
This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats which are thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions. The encoded protein is also a minor histocompatibility antigen which may induce graft rejection of male stem cell grafts. A large number of alternatively spliced transcripts have been observed for this gene, but the full length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
