title = "Mitochondrial DNA control region variation in a Kuwaiti population sample",
abstract = "Mitochondrial control region (16024-576) sequences were generated from 381 Kuwaiti samples. Previously, these samples were typed with the AmpFℓSTR{\textregistered} Identifiler{\textregistered} kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California) [1]. Automated high throughput lab processing combined with a redundant sequencing strategy and multiple reviews of the raw electropherograms ensure the high quality of these sequences and their utility as reference population data for Kuwait.",
