ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 - UPDATE 2013 DRAFT VERSIONalphanumeric value of up to 32 Unicode characters.KID = 0.KMF shall be entered if• The fifteenth information item is the description of the kit (with part or catalognumber) / KDS. This is up to 128 Unicode characters. KDS shall be entered ifKID = 0.8.18.17 Field 18.017: Mitochondrial DNA data / DMDTo accommodate the differences in how mtDNA types are derived (differences fromreference), the interpretation issue is avoided in this standard by dividing the controlregion into 2 regions (even though HV3 exists) to ensure any insertions / deletions/ C-stretches are included. 176 This method enables any receiver of the data to use it in a wayto which they are accustomed (either using the full sequence or interpreting the fullsequence according to their own methodology). The resultant data use would then befully consistent with the receiver’s database and enable processing. This is an optionalfield, but if it is entered, all information items are mandatory. This field is only present ifField 18.011: Sample typing information / STI has a subfield with the value 1.• The first information item is the mito control region 1 / MT1. It is defined asinclusive of HV1, starting at 16024 and ending at 16569. [2013n>] The stringmay have up to 400 insertions [] Up to 400insertions may be specified[] or a sequence value: A,G, C or T. [] Mitochondiral DNA is a continuous circle with 16569 bases – each having a unique markerlocation. These locations are numbered from 00001 to 16569. The area from 16024 through 00576 is themost useful for analysis. Studies are often conducted using three subregions of this range: HV1 (definedas 16024 to 16365), HV2 (defined as 00073 to 00349) and HV3 (defined as 00438 to 00574) [] The sequence values were correctly specified in Table 92 Type-18 record layout but were notmentioned in the text of the 2011 version [
