That means you can't total them up -- that would be like adding the
results of DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393. The total could mask
actual differences.

Thanks Ann, I think I got confused several months ago when the board
was discussing mutations at either DYS 389-1 or DYS 389-II. I thought a
mutation in 389-I would effect 389-II. Somehow I got the impression
that they were not separate but were the same sequence devided into two
markers.

Thanks for correcting me.
