Sequence polymorphisms at the DXS6789, DXS8377 and DXS101 loci in three Asian populations

Sequence analyses of X-chromosomal short tandem repeats, DXS6789, DXS8377 and DXS101 were performed for representatives of 3 Asian populations: 130 Japanese, 61 Bangladeshi and 89 Indonesian males. At DXS6789, the sequence polymorphism was found in 7 alleles in the Japanese, 3 in the Bangladeshis and 3 in the Indonesians. At DXS8377, the sequence polymorphism was found in 13 alleles in the Japanese, 9 in the Bangladeshis and in all alleles identified in the Indonesians. At DXS101, the sequence polymorphism was found in 7 alleles in the Japanese, 9 in the Bangladeshis and 8 in the Indonesians. Because sequence polymorphisms were found in most of the alleles at the DXS6789, DXS8377 and DXS101 loci, it was concluded that sequencing was essential for identifying the alleles at these loci in all 3 Asian populations.     

Haplotypic blocks of X-linked STRs for forensic cases: study of recombination and mutation rates

In complex kinship cases, markers situated in haplotypic blocks may provide additional clues to other unlinked markers. We have established a protocol to amplify six X-chromosome microsatellites, located in two haplotype blocks, using PCR with fluorochrome-labeled primers and capillary electrophoresis. The segregation stability was explored in 92 unrelated families with individuals from three generations. Sixty-one different haplotypes were found in the DXS10079-DXS10074-DXS10075 block in the grandfathers and 96 in the mothers, with estimated haplotype diversities of 0.9828 and 0.9842, respectively. Fifty and 73 different haplotypes were found in the DXS6801-DXS6809-DXS6789 block in the grandfathers and the mothers, with estimated haplotype diversities of 0.9711 and 0.9742, respectively. We observed 10 between-cluster and one within-cluster recombinations in 99 female meioses. The overall per-locus mutation rate was 0.0034. This protocol allows for the characterization of the alleles of two sets of linked markers of the X-chromosome that can be useful in complex forensic cases.     

A new pentaplex system to study short tandem repeat markers of forensic interest on X chromosome

A new method has been optimised to amplify five X chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) markers of interest in forensic medicine: human phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRTB), DXS101, androgen receptor (ARA), DXS7423 and DXS8377. Markers were conveniently amplified in a single PCR reaction with fluorochrome-labelled primers, which allowed the analysis of fragment sizes after injection into a capillary electrophoresis system. The most common alleles of each locus were sequenced and used in a control ladder to type unknown samples.     

Population data of 10 X-chromosomal loci in Latvia

Ten X-chromosomal STRs from two multiplex PCR approaches (DXS9898, DXS6807, HPRTB, DXS101, and androgen receptor (ARA); DXS7133, DXS10011, DXS7424, DXS8377, and DXS8378) have been typed in a Latvian population sample.     

Updated allelic structures of the DXS10135 and DXS10078 STR loci

DXS10135 and DXS10078 are two highly polymorphic STR loci situated in two different linkage groups on the short arm of the human X chromosome. Both loci comprise complex tetrameric repeat units which may partially explain their high degree of polymorphism. DXS10135 is relatively well characterized and is included in a commercially available kit, while DXS10078 has not been well described. We sequenced a large number of alleles of both loci to try and understand the allelic variation and as a prelude to construct allelic ladders from cloned alleles. Our data show interesting features and should encourage other workers to use these loci in forensic genetic investigations.     

The X-linked STRs DXS7130 and DXS6803

This paper presents sequence and population genetic data of two new X-linked microsatellite markers, suitable for forensic purposes. Data were obtained from a sample of unrelated German individuals (male and female). Two highly informative markers could be added to the panel of ChrX STRs [J. Edelmann, S. Hering, M. Michael, R. Lessig, D. Deichsel, G. Meier-Sundhausen, L. Roewer, I. Plate, R. Szibor, 16 X-chromosome STR loci frequency data from a German population, For. Sci. Int. 124 (2001) 215-218; J. Edelmann, D. Deichsel, S. Hering, I. Plate, R. Szibor, Sequence variation and allele nomenclature for the X-linked STRs DXS9895, DXS8378, DXS7132, DXS6800, DXS7133, GATA172D05, DXS7423 and DXS8377, For. Sci.

Development of two pentaplex systems with X-chromosomal STR loci and their allele frequencies in a northeast German population

In this study we present two new pentaplex systems for the coamplification of X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs). X-penta-1 comprises DXS9898, DXS6807, HPRTB, DXS101, and androgen receptor (ARA); X-penta-2 consists of DXS7133, DXS10011, DXS7424, DXS8377, and DXS8378. In addition, allele frequencies for these loci in a northeast German population comprising 100 females and 105 males were shown. The applicability and usefulness of our two PCR pentaplex approaches in paternity deficiency cases is demonstrated by a combined power of discrimination (PD(c)) for both females and males with PD(c)>0.999999.     

Sequence variation and allele nomenclature for the X-linked STRs DXS9895, DXS8378, DXS7132, DXS6800, DXS7133, GATA172D05, DXS7423 and DXS8377

X-linked DNA markers are increasingly used in forensic kinship testing. This paper presents sequencing data of the short tandem repeats (STRs) DXS9895, DXS8378, DXS7132, DXS6800, DXS7133, GATA172D05, DXS7423, DXS8377 and proposes an allele nomenclature. Alleles were assigned according to the recommendations of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG) Commission.     

Population data for six X-chromosome STR loci in a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) sample: Usefulness in forensic casework

This study presents data for the X-chromosome STR loci DXS7133, DXS7424, DXS8378, DXS6807, DXS7423 and DXS8377. In order to establish a database, unrelated individuals (males and females) from Rio de Janeiro were typed for the above loci. No significant differences were observed between allele frequencies in male and female samples (non-differentiation exact P values ≥ 0.156). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested in the female sample and no significant deviations were found. All six markers have shown to be highly polymorphic in our sample with gene diversities varying between 0.6797 for DXS7133, and 0.9260 for DXS8377. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium analysis did not allow discharging a possible association between DXS7133 and DXS7424 alleles in Rio de Janeiro population. Parameters of forensic interest, like PD_M, PD_F, Het_obs, Het_exp, were calculated for each locus. The high discrimination power estimated in both males and females, as well as mean exclusion chance in father/daughter duos and in father/mother/daughter trios, demonstrates the usefulness of these six markers in forensic investigation.
