VNTR Inheritance
In analyzing VNTR data, two basic genetic principles can be used:
- Identity Matching- both VNTR alleles from a specific location must match. If two samples are from the same individual, they must show the same allele pattern.
- Inheritance Matching- the VNTR alleles must follow the rules of inheritance. In matching an individual with his parents or children, a person must have an allele that matches one from each parent. If the relationship is more distant, such as a grandparent or sibling, then matches must be consistent with the degree of relatedness.
