Distribution of length changes for phased de novo STRs. A, B The distribution of length differences between new and original phased STR alleles is similar among CEPH males and females. C Most de novo events are contractions and expansions of one repeat unit. D Panels show the distributions of transmitted phased-determined de novo STR alleles for each STR motif length in the CEPH families. In each case, the majority of the observed size changes are a single repeat unit, and most new mutations are a multiple of the original STR motif
