Null values loci 26 - 36

[vivianruth]

Hello,

The 26 - 37 markers just were posted for my Uncle Lou, whose DNA account I manage.

Loci 26 - 36 (eleven markers) were all null. He had had 57 matches at 25 markers that were either exact, genetic distance one, or genetic distance two. He has zero matches at 37 markers.

I'm flabbergasted by this result. The asterisks say that null value markers are repeatedly tested to ensure that they are correct. Should I trust this result? Can anyone tell me the likelihood of such a result. Thank you.

There have been problems with the reporting of markers since they introduced the 111 STRs. Your uncle is most assuredly not null in all those markers.

Something may well be happening right now. My 67-111 panels were all supposedly finished last week, however within the past hour or so all five panels have suddenly reappeared under 'pending lab results', with the original batch number (408) and an estimated date of 5/30.

Two hours later, and they're suddenly listed as completed again. Very confusing.

Thanks for explanations

Thanks to Javelin for explaining that there have been problems here and that this situation is, indeed, highly improbable. I await the corrections.
