Phil, I did not have you down on my list of Kittler testees. But there is
interesting entry from Doug Hogarth who I have also having your 15,23,13,14
at 19,390,385a,b plus a 13 at DYS462. He was high, low also. I wonder if I
entered an erroneous name on that haplotype? I will check.

If I confirm that my I1a4 dna sample is negative for P40 (with results
overdue), and you turn out positive for P40, the an M227 test would not seem
to make sense. If either of those P40 tests turned out unexpectedly, then
I'd say go for it?

Ken
