This article reports on a research study that used automated, high throughput laboratory processing, in combination with a redundant sequency strategy to determine mitochondrial DNA regional variation for a Kuwaiti control sample, which had previously been typed with the AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® kit.

Abstract

Mitochondrial control region (16024-576) sequences were generated from 381 Kuwaiti samples. Previously, these samples were typed with the AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California). Automated high throughput lab processing combined with a redundant sequencing strategy and multiple reviews of the raw electropherograms ensure the high quality of these sequences and their utility as reference population data for Kuwait.
