MiniFiler~(TM)试剂盒在LCN-STR分型中的应用

目的评估MiniFilerTM试剂盒在LCN-STR分型中的法医学应用价值。方法采用MiniFilerTM与IdentifilerTM试剂盒,对49份常量与39份LCN检材,包括血迹、精斑、骨骼等7类常见检材的检验结果进行比较,并对两种试剂盒的检测灵敏度进行比较。结果在49份常量检材的检验结果中,两种试剂盒的STR分型结果全部一致;在39份LCN生物检材的检验结果中,MiniFilerTM试剂盒获得全部STR分型的有30份,部分分型的5份,阴性的4份;IdentifilerTM试剂盒获得部分STR分型的22份,阴性的17份。MiniFilerTM试剂盒检验成功率明显高于IdentifilerTM试剂盒;MiniFilerTM试剂盒的检测灵敏略高于IdentifilerTM。结论MiniFilerTM试剂盒可显著提高LCN生物检材的检验成功率,适合应用于法庭科学实际检案中LCN生物检材的检验鉴定。

The application of MiniFilerTM kit in LCN-STR genotyping

Objective To evaluate the application value of MiniFilerTM kit in LCN-STR genotyping in forensic science.Methods Compared the testing results of MiniFilerTM and IdentifilerTM kits in 49 general quantity biological samples and 39 LCN-biological samples,including blood stains,sperm stains,bones,and so on.Meanwhile the sensitivity of these two kits were also compared.Results Full concordance between IdentifilerTM and MiniFilerTM kits was observed in all of 49 general quantity biological samples.For 39 LCN-biological samples,only 22 samples could be genotyped in partial loci and 17 samples negative with the IdentifilerTM kit,while 30 samples could be genotyped in all loci,5 samples in partial loci and 4 samples negative with the MiniFilerTM kit.Therefore,there was a higher success rate for LCN-biological samples typing with MiniFilerTM kit than with IdentifilerTM kit.In addition,the sensitivity of the MiniFilerTMkit was also a little higer than the IdentifilerTMkit.Conclusion The results demonstrated that the MiniFilerTM kit can markedly improve the typing success rate of LCN-biological samples,and is suitable for analyzing difficult biological samples in forensic practice.
