OA have told me that they are unable to allocate a specific band for my
DYS425 - it has too many peaks; they have said this is a rare result. How
rare, I wonder? Is this the type of mutation that can happen from time to
time in the family tree? I have no-one against whom I can make a comparison,
unfortunately.
