The values in the drop down list are not necessarily limited by those
available in the list. If you communicate with the y.base author, he will
probably modify the drop down list to include the additional value.

The following is a response I received with a similar problem:
From Alistair Greenshields:


"Unfortunately, not all of the alleles for certain markers, including
DYS464a/b/c/d/e/f/g, are reported so this problem can occasionally occur. I
usually give enough figures in the drop-doown list that allow for this
uncertainty, but have been caught out on this occasion."

I have been slogging along entering our Hatcher results to ybase.org and on
one test (which I've not yet submitted), I first did a search and found
something odd.

At DYS448 I have a value of 22. Ybase has values only up to 21. Am I looking
at a very rare value or is this possibly an error on FTDNA's part?
