Mutation in the STR locus D21S1 1 of father causing allele mismatch in the child

We analyzed a case of paternity dispute with 15 autosomal STR loci and found a mismatch in one of the alleles of the locus D21S11 in the child. The composition of the alleles of this locus in the mother, suspicious father, and child were 29/32, 29/29, and 29/30, respectively. The combined paternity index (2.4 x 10(10)) and paternity probability (0.9999) suggest that the suspicious father is the biological father of the child. Further analysis of 6 Y chromosome STR loci revealed matching of all the Y chromosomal alleles of the child with that of the suspicious father. Since there was a perfect match of all the paternal alleles inherited (15 autosomal and 6 Y chromosomal) in the child with that of the suspicious father except the allele D21S11, it is suggested that this might be a case of mutation. Cloning and sequencing of all the alleles of the locus D21S11 of the suspicious father, mother, and the child helped in determining that the suspicious father contributed the mutated allele.     

Parentage of Hydatidiform Moles

We were presented with the STR (short tandem repeat) profiles from two separate paternity trios. Each trio consisted of a mother, an alleged father, and products of conception (POC) that contained a hydatidiform mole but no visible fetus. In both cases , antecedent pregnancies had followed alleged sexual assaults. Mole classification and pathogenesis are described in order to explain the analyses and statistical reasoning used in each case. One mole exhibited several loci with two different paternal alleles, indicating it was a dispermic (heterozygous) mole. Maternal decidua contaminated the POC, preventing the identification of paternal obligate alleles (POAs) at some loci. The other mole exhibited only one paternal allele/locus at all loci and no maternal alleles, indicating it was a diandric and diploid (homozygous) mole. In each case, traditional calculations were used to determine paternity indices (PIs) at loci that exhibited one paternal allele/locus. PIs at mole loci with two different paternal alleles/locus were calculated from formulas first used for child chimeras that are always dispermic. Combined paternity indices in both mole cases strongly supported the paternity of each suspect.     

Two loci ‘exclusion’ of true paternity is due to genetic disorder in a child

We describe a paternity case with three genetic incompatibilities between a three-year-old boy and his putative father.STR analysis of 2 out of 25 markers revealed the absence of paternal alleles and presence of two maternal alleles at D2S441 and D2S1338 loci in the child. The rest 23 STR markers served to confirm paternity. In addition, we analyzed Y-STRs and determined the same haplotype in the child and his putative father.With massive parallel sequencing on HID Ion GeneStudio S5 System using Precision ID GlobalFiler NGS STR Panel v2 (Applied Biosystems) we confirmed the presence of two alleles of maternal origin at D2S441, D2S1338 loci and identified two maternal alleles at additional locus D2S1776 located on chromosome 2 in the child.Finally, we confirm paternity. Three loci ‘exclusion’ was due to maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 2 in the child.     

Identifiler^TM系统在亲子鉴定中的突变观察和分析

目的观察和分析IdentifilerTM系统15个短串联重复序列(STR)位点在亲子鉴定中的突变现象。方法用IdentifilerTM试剂盒检测2712例亲子鉴定案例。结果在2362例认定亲子关系的案例中,观察到51例中有1个STR位点发生突变。突变的位点包括D8S1179、D21S11、D7S820、CSF1PO、D3S1358、D13S317、D16S539、D2S1338、D19S433、vWA、D18S51、D5S818和FGA。其中以D21S11位点突变率最高(0.369%);突变的等位基因来自父亲36次,来自母亲7次,无法确定9次。结论STR位点突变是较为常见的现象,采用IdentifilerTM系统进行亲子鉴定,遇到1～2个STR位点不符合遗传规律时,有必要增加突变率低、稳定性好的STR位点进行复核。     

Mutations of short tandem repeat loci in Identifiler system

OBJECTIVE: To explore and analyze the mutations of 15 Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci using Identifiler system in paternity identification. METHODS: 2712 cases of paternity testing were carried out using Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit. RESULTS: Of the 2362 paternity testing cases, mutations of single locus were observed in 51 cases. The mutation loci included D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA, with the D21S11 locus having a highest mutation rate (0.369%). Thirty-six of the STR mutations were from paternal source, 7 from maternal source, and the rest (9) were undeterminable. The mutation rates at D21S11 were highest (0.369%). CONCLUSION: Mutations of STR loci are relatively common in human genome. Therefore, retesting of additional relatively stable STR loci with lower mutation rates is necessary when one or two loci exclusions are encountered in paternity testing.     

The application of minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) in a paternity case showing false exclusion due to STR mutation

A boy and a girl with their mother brought a paternity suit against an alleged but deceased father. We tested six conventional genetic markers, the AmpliType PM+ DQA1 and twelve STR loci the children and mother together with the alleged paternal grandparents. We also DNA typed the bloodstain found later in the alleged father's medical record. Only the result at D3S1358 in a nineplex STR system excluded the alleged father from parentage of the boy, whereas all markers were inclusive for the girl. Accordingly, we performed sequence analysis at D3S1358 to confirm the presence of a paternal exclusion or mutation. The sequence analysis indicated that the boy's allele 17 could have originated from either of the alleged father's allele 16 or 18 by a single-step mutation associated with slippage mutation in STR loci. We carried out minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) at loci D1S8 (MS32) and D7S21 (MS31A) and mapped allele haplotypes of all individuals except the deceased alleged father. The MVR-PCR analysis showed that the boy has no inconsistency with the relationship between the alleged grandparents, and was very effective at increasing the paternity index (PI) value. We conclude that there is biological relationship between not only the girl but also the boy and the alleged father.
