Comparisons of both deletion size and haplotypes with published data suggest that most AMELY nulls are the result of independent evolutionary events, even in those populations where the frequency is relatively high. Although AMELY null males are extremely rare in most populations, typing an additional gender-determining locus should be considered in forensic investigations where the reference sample is of unknown gender
