Application of RapidHITTM 200 System in Forensic MedicineCSCD

Objective: To validate the analysis capability of RapidHITTM 200 system for four kinds of routine forensic samples and the recyclable capability of template, template DNA and PCR products in the process of twice duplicate detection. Methods: The buccal swabs underwent the test twice by RapidHITTM 200 system, and the template DNA and PCR products that arose in the system were also tested for two times. After four kinds of routine forensic samples were detected by RapidHITTM 200 system, the follow- up tests of the template, template DNA and PCR products that arose in the system were performed. Results: The STR loci could be detected in the buccal swabs by the system for the first time. However, part of the STR loci lost during the second test. And the peak value obtained in the second test was significantly reduced than the one in the first time. The average STR loci detection rates of the template DNA and PCR products were both less than 50% in the second test, which were significantly reduced than that in the first test. In addition, the analysis capability of the system for the tissues and buccal swabs was better than that for the blood and cigarette butts. Compared with the first test, the STR loci detection rate of the tested items, template DNA and PCR products decreased with the numbers of tests. Conclusion: RapidHITTM 200 system is more effective in retesting buccal swabs than other samples, whereas the items, DNA template, PCR products obtained in the first and second time cannot be directly used for the further application and study of forensic medicine. © 2018 by the Editorial Department of Journal of Forensic Medicine.     

The effect of NucleoSpin® Forensic Filters on DNA recovery from trace DNA swabs

Forensic DNA profiling is a globally accepted method for human identification, however, obtaining full DNA profiles from trace DNA can be challenging. The optimal recovery of DNA from trace DNA swabs is therefore crucial. Methods for extracting DNA from swabs often make use of a spin basket combined with a centrifugation step, to enhance the release of cells from the swab prior to DNA extraction. The NucleoSpin® Forensic Filter (Macherey-Nagel, Düren) is a type of spin basket, but it has not been thoroughly assessed on trace DNA samples. This study aimed to assess if the inclusion of the NucleoSpin® Forensic Filter significantly improved DNA recovery and DNA profiling success from cotton and flocked swabs used to collect trace DNA and buccal cells (control). Buccal cells and trace DNA samples were collected from 25 volunteers using each swab type (cotton and flocked) in duplicate. DNA was extracted from the samples using the NucleoSpin® DNA Forensic kit, one set with, and the other set without, NucleoSpin® Forensic Filters. DNA concentration was assessed using real time PCR, and DNA profiling was done using the PowerPlex® ESX 16 system. The inclusion of the NucleoSpin® Forensic Filters significantly improved DNA concentration for buccal cells that were collected using flocked swabs (p = 0.035). However, no significant differences were noted for trace DNA samples for either swab type. There was also no significant difference in DNA profiling success when NucleoSpin® Forensic Filters were used, regardless of swab and sample type. These results may be helpful for laboratories that are considering the NucleoSpin® Forensic Filters in the DNA extraction workflow, particularly for trace DNA samples.

Evaluation of Skin Surface as an Alternative Source of Reference DNA Samples: A Pilot Study

An acceptable area for collecting DNA reference sample is a part of the forensic DNA analysis development. The aim of this study was to evaluate skin surface cells (SSC) as an alternate source of reference DNA sample. From each volunteer (n = 10), six samples from skin surface areas (forearm and fingertips) and two traditional samples (blood and buccal cells) were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted and quantified then genotyped using standard techniques. The highest DNA concentration of SSC samples was collected using the tape/forearm method of collection (2.1 ng/μL). Cotton swabs moistened with ethanol yielded higher quantities of DNA than swabs moistened with salicylic acid, and it gave the highest percentage of full STR profiles (97%). This study supports the use of SSC as a noninvasive sampling technique and as a extremely useful source of DNA reference samples among certain cultures where the use of buccal swabs can be considered socially unacceptable.     

Evaluation of the DNA stability of forensic markers used in betel-quid chewers' oral swab samples and oral cancerous specimens: implications for forensic application

Chewed betel-quid (BQ) residues are often considered vital biological evidence at crime scenes, since the human DNA extracted from the residues is actually from buccal epithelial cells and can be associated with suspects. BQ-chewing is also a risk factor for oral diseases and/or cancers. Archived medical oral-specimens can be used to identify specific individuals under adverse conditions, although STR markers are known to be unstable in various tumor tissues. This study evaluates the DNA stability of forensic marker systems in BQ-chewers' oral epithelial cells, and in archived clinical specimens of oral cancer patients. The genotypes of oral and paired peripheral blood samples in 200 subjects were compared, using the commercialized typing systems of HLA-DQA1, PM (including LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, and GC loci), and AmpFlSTR markers (including 9 STR loci and the Amelogenin gene). The 100 healthy BQ-chewers had consistent oral swab and paired blood sample genotypes analyzed withboth DQA1/PM and STR marker systems. In the 100 oral cancer patients, one discordant result at D7S8 was found in the 600DQA1/PM-marker loci, and 25 allelic alterations with expansion or contraction were detected in the 900 STR loci. The findings herein suggest that when cancerous specimens were tested, the HLA-DQA1/PM system with point polymorphism appears more reliable than the STR system with length polymorphism. Our results also indicate that healthy BQ-chewers' oral cotton swabs containing buccal epithelial cells are useful for forensic purposes using the HLA-DQA1, PM, and STR marker systems.
