STR loci and the amelogenin sex-determining marker were amplified using the COrDIS plus kit (Gordiz, Moscow, Russia) (detecting amelogenin, D5S818, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D2S1338, D3S1358, vWA, D8S1179, D16S539, TPOX, TH01, D19S433, D18S51, FGA, and D13S317) according to the manufacturer’s instructions in a GeneAmp®PCR system 9700 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Electrophoretic analysis was performed using a 3730/3130xl DNA Analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After electrophoresis, the data were analyzed with Gene Mapper® ID-X Software v1.5 [22 (link)] (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) to categorize peaks by size in relation to an internal standard allelic ladder.
