Forensic evaluation of the Investigator DIPplex typing system

Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (known as InDels) are short biallelic length markers widely spreadthroughout the genome. This kind of markers have aroused the interest of the forensic community inrecent years, even if population data are limited. In order to increase the information about Indels, wereport allele frequencies and statistical parameters of forensic efficiency obtained typing a sample of 200unrelated healthy individuals living in North–East Italy using a panel of 30 insertion/deletionpolymorphisms included in Investigator DIPplex kit (Qiagen, Hideln, Germany).
