چکیده

Human gender identification, based on the amelogenin gene, has important applications in forensic casework, prenatal diagnosis, DNA databasing, and blood sample storage. However, we report on the first known case, in the Israeli population, of an amelogenin sex test failure on a phenotypically normal male. He was typed as a female by both the AmpF STR R © SGM plusTM and GenePrintTM kits. Subsequent, karyotyping of the soldier’s blood sample showed no abnormalities. These results suggest that the determination of sex, based on the amelogenin test, should be interpreted cautiously.

Amelogenin Gene Failure in Sex Determination of Dry Human Teeth Specimens from Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria

The study of teeth reveals a lot concerning forensic medicine. Particularly it is useful in human identification. In addition to determination of age, sex can also be determined from teeth. The genetic difference between males and females is defined by the presence or absence of the Y-chromosome. The majority of the DNA of the sex chromosomes is specific to either the X or Y form. There are reg...
