Fixed human tissues: a resource for the identification of individuals

Polymorphic genetic loci of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) present in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues were successfully analyzed by utilizing the polymerase chain reaction. Using this analysis, with three different polymorphic loci [human leucocyte antigen (HLA) DQ alpha, low-density lipoprotein receptor, and parathyroid hormone], fixed tissues representing 14 different individuals were genotyped and could be distinguished from each other. The techniques were further applied to the fixed autopsy tissues of a man in which a question of paternity arose postmortem. Since many individuals have surgical procedures or autopsy, these readily available fixed tissues represent an additional resource for the identification of individuals.     

Highly sensitive HLA-DNA typing from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples

Nucleotide sequences have been determined for more than 1700 different alleles at the core of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. The highly polymorphic character of these genes affects adaptive immune response and is also useful for forensic applications. HLA typing from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue provides abundant useful information for both clinical settings and forensic investigations. This study, which investigated the potential use of DNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples in an HLA PCR sequence-specific primer and probe (SPP) system, showed that tissue fixed in formalin for less than 3 days and embedded in paraffin can serve as a useful source of DNA for PCR-SPP typing kits.     

Efficiency evaluation of a DNA extraction and purification protocol on archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue (FF-PET) is an invaluable resource for retrospective molecular genetic studies, but the extraction of high-quality genomic DNA from FF-PET is still a problematic issue. Despite the range of DNA extraction methods currently in use, the association of phenol–chloroform extraction and silica-based purification protocols, reported in ancient DNA studies on archaeological bones, has, to our knowledge, not been used for DNA extraction from FF-PET yet. The present study compared the efficiency of three DNA extraction and purification protocols from two different FF-PET substrates, heart and liver, by using quantitative PCR and multiplex amplification.We showed that the method, using phenol–chloroform and the QIAamp DNA mini^® Kit (Qiagen), was the most effective DNA extraction and purification method and that the DNA quantity extracted from liver is statistically more important than that extracted from heart. Autosomal STR typing by multiplex amplifications gave partial allelic profiles with only small size products (less than 300 bases) amplified, suggesting that DNA extracted from FF-PET was degraded.In conclusion, the protocol presented here, previously described in studies on ancient bones, should find application in different molecular studies involving FF-PET material.     

Sudden death from tubercular myocarditis

Tuberculous myocarditis is a rare finding. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who was in good health and who died suddenly at home. Autopsy and histopathologic examinations revealed granulamatous lesions in the myocardium, lungs, lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. No fast acid bacilli were demonstrated on histological examination. The presence of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA complex was identified using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded histological samples. An HIV test carried out on the blood obtained during the autopsy was negative according to the DNA amplification technique (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay serological test. We hypothesize that the mechanism of death was severe ventricular arrhythmia due to granulomatous proliferation in the structures of the interventricular septum.     

Selective detection of cytomegalovirus by in situ hybridization

In two SIDS autopsy cases, in situ hybridization with biotin-labeled DNA probes was used to demonstrate a specific cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. This technique represents a rapid, specific, and highly sensitive tool for the detection of CMV infections and is recommended for routine examination in other suspected viral infections, particularly in cases connected with SIDS.     

Incestuous paternity detected by STR-typing of chorionic villi isolated from archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded abortion material using laser microdissection

Microscopic examination of a blood clot expelled by a physically and mentally disabled woman taken to the emergency room because of genital bleeding revealed the presence of chorionic villi encircled by decidua, hemorrhage, and necrosis. In order to identify the father of the product of conception, sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded abortion material were subjected to laser microdissection: DNA extraction from chorionic villi selectively isolated from the surrounding tissues allowed successful STR-typing of fetal cells, which was otherwise prevented by excess maternal DNA. The large number of homozygous genotypes in the fetal profile suggested incestuous paternity. Analysis of reference DNA samples from male relatives excluded the woman's father, paternal grandfather, and maternal grandfather, whereas the obligate paternal alleles of the fetus were constantly present in the genotypes of the woman's brother, clearly demonstrating brother-sister incest (probability of paternity > 99.99999%).
