Concorde study

Many of these STR markers targeted by modified primers are the same as those already established for the CODIS database [46]. Concordance studies between the mini STR and the commercially available STR primers have been performed and some discrepancies (0.2%) have been observed in the allele calls. These, however, can be explained by the fact that the primers from the mini STRs bind at different locations than those of the original STRs, thus insertions/deletions can affect primer...

Unfortunately, twin studies were not concordant in lending support to this result [4]. 

Programs. CONCORD version 6.1.0 and CORINA version 3.4 were used for this study. CONCORD was run with the following ophons ... 

Results. Table 7.1 summarizes the results of the evaluation study obtained for CONCORD and CORINA. None of the programs crashed or produced any stereo errors. CORINA had a conversion rate close to 100%, whereas CONCORD converted only 91%. However, CONCORD was faster than CORINA with an average... 

Flens et al. conducted a study comparing ICC on smears of 64 patients with their corresponding IHC on the histological specimens. They found that although ICC was a valuable technique with good concordance with IHC, there was still a 10% discrepancy in marker expression. The major issues... 

The concordance rate of mood disorders is 60-80% for monozygotic twins and 14-20% for dizygotic twins. Linkage studies suggest that certain loci on genes and the X chromosome may contribute to genetic susceptibility of bipolar disorder,...
