| Abstract | Deletions on the short arm of the Y chromosome involving the amelogenin Y gene (AMELY), located on Yp11.2, can be misleading for sex typing with serious consequences in forensic applications and prenatal diagnosis. In this study, we describe two AMELY null cases concerning two unrelated Italian males from Northeast Italy. PCR amplification of short tandem repeats on the Y chromosome (Y-STRs) showed a lack of AMELY and DYS458 markers. The presence of all the other markers located on the Y chromosome and of the SRY gene in both samples led us to conclude that a deletion had occurred in a portion of the short arm of the Y chromosome. Twenty-three Y-specific sequence tagged sites (STSs) were chosen to delineate the deletion's length, which was estimated to be in the range of 3.35-3.87Mb for one sample and 1.51-2.58Mb for the other. These and previous findings suggest that in all cases where potential AMELY drop out has occurred, it should be used additional specific Y chromosome markers or human DNA quantification methods that specifically quantify male DNA using target male genomic markers, which not being located within the deletion regions, allow an accurate sex identification. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
