Population data of nine miniSTR loci in Koreans

For highly degraded DNA samples of forensic casework, new miniSTR systems have been developed to supplement the current STR systems. In the present study, nine miniSTR loci were analyzed in 300 unrelated Koreans using three multiplex PCR systems (multiplex I: D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045; multiplex II: D1S1677, D2S441 and D4S2364; and multiplex III: D3S3053, D6S474 and D20S482), and allele frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated. These data demonstrated that D10S1248, D2S441, D22S1045, D14S1434, and D6S474 are as highly informative as the CODIS STRs suggesting that the miniSTRs could be useful for forensic analysis of degraded DNA.     

Characterization of new miniSTR loci to aid analysis of degraded DNA

A number of studies have demonstrated that successful analysis of degraded DNA specimens from mass disasters or forensic evidence improves with smaller sized polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. We have scanned the literature for new STR loci, unlinked from the CODIS markers, which can generate amplicons less than 125 bp in size and would therefore be helpful in testing degraded DNA samples. New PCR primers were designed and tested for the STR loci D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364, D10S1248, D14S1434, and D22S1045, arranged into two miniSTR triplexes. All loci show a moderate degree of polymorphism among 474 U.S. population samples tested and were reliable and sensitive to at least 100 pg of DNA template under controlled laboratory conditions and pristine DNA samples. The utility of these new loci were confirmed in comparing the success of the miniSTR assays for typing degraded bone samples while partial profiles were observed with the majority of the samples using a commercial STR kit.     

Allele frequencies of six miniSTR loci of three ethnic populations in Singapore

MiniSTR loci has demonstrated to be an effective approach to recover genetic information from degraded sample, due to the improved PCR efficiency of their reduced PCR product sizes. This study investigated the allele frequency of six miniSTR loci, D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364, D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045, in three Singapore populations. All loci showed a moderate degree of polymorphism with observed heterozygosity >0.6 for all three populations. The allele frequencies, forensic parameters and heterozygosity comparison with other CODIS STR in similar populations are presented.     

Allele frequencies for six miniSTR loci of two ethnic populations in China

Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for the six miniSTR loci D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364, D10S1248, D14S1434, and D22S1045 were investigated in two ethnic China populations. Allele frequencies for each locus are reported along with nomenclature based on sequence analysis. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products contained within the six loci were less than 125 bp in size. All loci showed a moderate degree of polymorphism with observed heterozygosity >0.7 except for D4S2364 and did not show departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for all two populations. The accumulated powers of discrimination for the six loci were 0.999994, and 0.999996 for Han ethnic, and Korean ethnic minority group, respectively.     

Allele frequencies of six miniSTR loci in the population of Northern Portugal

A possible approach to try to recover information from degraded DNA is to reduce the size of the PCR products by designing primers that bind as close as possible to the STR repeat region, known as miniSTRs. Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for the six miniSTRs loci D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364, D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045 were investigated in a sample group consisting of 228 anonymous apparently healthy unrelated individuals living in North of Portugal. The results show that all loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The combined power of discrimination and power of exclusion for the six loci were 0.99999 and 0.9789, respectively. All but one (D4S2364) loci showed a moderate degree of polymorphism (observed heterozygosity >0.6). The allele sizes ranged between 66 and 118 bp in our population, which is beneficial for typing degraded samples than those of a commercial STR kit.     

Allele frequencies of six miniSTR loci (D10S1248, D14S1434, D22S1045, D4S2364, D2S441 and D1S1677) in a Spanish population

Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for six miniSTR autosomal loci (D10S1248, D14S1434, D22S1045, D4S2364, D2S441 and D1S1677) were obtained from a sample of 264 unrelated individuals from Spain. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were found. Due to the small PCR products (<125 bp), the use of these non-CODIS (NC) miniSTRs can increase the probability that a degraded sample can be typed. Additionally, these systems can be used in routine paternity analyses where more markers are needed to increase the power of exclusion or in complex paternity cases (e.g. involving closely related individuals).     

Development of a novel miniSTR multiplex assay for typing degraded DNA samples

A multiplex PCR was developed for the analysis of the sex-determining gene Amelogenin, four conventional STR (short tandem repeat; THO1, D18S51, D21S11 and FGA) loci with a reduced amplicon size and four miniSTR loci (D1S1677, D2S441, D10S1248 and D22S1045). A concordance study in a population of 198 Belgians revealed no differences for the conventional STR loci while a sensitivity study showed a reproducible DNA profile with as low as 30 pg of input DNA.
