Abstract
The autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) locus D6S474 and the Y-chromosomal STR locus DYS612 have been reported multiple ways in the forensic literature, with differences in both the bracketed repeat structures and counting of numerical length-based capillary electrophoresis (CE) alleles. These issues often come to light when loci are introduced in commercial assays and results are compared with historical publications of allele frequency data or multiple assays are characterized in reference materials. We offer a review of the literature and other relevant information, and suggestions regarding the future treatment of these two loci.Citation
