Microsatellite polymorphisms provide highly informative readily detectable markers for human linkage studies. This paper reports apparent non-Mendelian inheritance of a dinucleotide repeat polymorphism due to allele non-amplification. The previously hidden allele was revealed and Mendelian inheritance restored when a new CA strand primer was used for amplification. Sequencing of the hidden allele identified a single base substitution at the 3'-most position of the binding site for the original CA strand primer. Allele non-amplification is a potential source of confusion in linkage studies employing polymorphisms detected by the polymerase chain reaction. It should be considered whenever apparent non-Mendelian inheritance or non-paternity are encountered.
