亲子鉴定中STR位点数选择及其应用价值研究

目的对在亲子鉴定中STR位点数的选择及其鉴定应用价值进行研究。方法将CODIS13个STR位点分为四个观测组,观测对象包括排除亲权的母亲-孩子-假设父亲三人组合102例,以及肯定亲权的母亲-孩子-假设父亲三人组合100例,通过310遗传分析仪对荧光复合扩增产物进行分型检测。结果各STR观察组出现的最低排除指标数与各观察组累积非父排除概率(CPE)值成一定正相关性,CPE值超过99.99%的两个STR观察组其出现的最低排除指标数为三个,同时这两个STR观察组在肯定亲权的案例分析中,其亲子关系概率值(RCP)值都超过了99.99%。结论对于亲子鉴定中的STR位点检测系统,其非父排除指标应为三个以上,其累积非父排除概率(CPE)值达到99.99%时,就可以认为该STR位点检测系统具有了相关的鉴定应用价值。     

同胞关系鉴定尸源2例

利用亲子鉴定进行尸源鉴定,国内外已很常见[1～4],当父母或单亲与子女关系已确定时,鉴定无名尸体或碎尸与其有无亲缘关系,从而达到尸源认定的目的。其中,以父母关系确定,要求鉴定无名尸体或碎尸与父母间的亲缘关系多见[2,3]。但应用该原理对其他亲缘关系(隔代成员、同胞、旁系亲属等)进行尸源鉴定并不多见,本文在实际案件中成功利用同胞血缘关系鉴定尸源2例。现报道如下:1案例资料案例1刘某(男,51岁,无业)2004年5月27日失踪。4d后,于某出租房内提取血迹及人体骨骼数根(已被煮过),案件调查认为,现场血迹及人骨可能是失踪人员刘某。由于刘某无…

1案例资料 1.1简要案情 2011年6月15日,本市警方发现1具高度腐败无名男性尸体,为确定尸源,提取该无名尸体肋软骨、张某(嫌疑为其子)及母亲血样进行亲缘鉴定. 1.2 DNA检验 上述3份检材均采用Chelex-100法提取DNA.分别使用Sinofiler试剂盒、GoldenEye20A试剂盒和Y-filer试剂盒进行复合扩增,扩增产物用ABI-3130遗传分析仪进行电泳分析.     

高度腐败尸体指印的提取

目前对无名尸体尸源认定的方法主要有尸体相貌、DNA分析、指纹等等。当命案现场中的无名尸体高度腐败时，尸体面容完全改变，相貌辨认条件丧失；同时，高度腐败尸体细胞中的DNA已经高度降解，DNA测序大多难以得到准确结果。对于这类案件，可以通过尸体指纹与生前所留指印的同一认定来进行尸源认定，如何成功的提取高度腐败尸体的指纹是能否通过指纹进行尸源认定的关键。笔者就实际工作中所遇到的案例介绍一种教科书上未提及的高度腐败尸体指纹提取方法。     

AmpF STR SGM试剂盒应用评价

短串联重复序列（ STR）是一类广泛分布于人类基因组中的多态性 DNA,由于检测方便,检材适应性广,多态性较高, STR近年来正逐渐取代血清学和 DNA指纹图,越来越多地应用于亲权鉴定中 [1]。但是对 STR在亲权鉴定中的应用价值的评价,多数是通过调查群体的等位基因频率资料,计算非父排除率作为参考,这种评估的方法反映的是平均值,为了了解 STR在亲子鉴定中实际应用的情况,本文从实际案例出发,分析 10个 STR位点在亲权鉴定中的应用效果。 1材料与方法 1.1案例来源 　　58例亲权鉴定案来自于本室实际案件,检测以下 10个 STR…

The personal identification of many samples recovered from under the sea

An automatic and rapid DNA typing system was employed for personal identification, using fragmentary tissue samples from victims in an airplane accident. Two victims were crushed into small pieces, and 33 samples suspected to belong to them were recovered from under the sea. From each sample, 10 mg was used for testing. The parents' bloods of two presumptive victims were also examined. DNA extraction from samples was performed by the NaI method, and the obtained DNA samples were analyzed with the ABI PRISM system. Among 33 samples, 31 samples were identified to be human tissues, possibly from two victims. The other two samples seemed to be parts of marine animals. ABO blood group, STR polymorphism, and mitochondrial DNA polymorphism typing were possible in every examined human sample. Two victims' fragmentary tissues were identified by determining ABO genotype, STR type and mitochondrial DNA type. The system we employed enabled an accurate typing of many fragmentary samples in a short time, thus contributing to the fast and secure identification of many victims in such cases as big air accidents.     

Typing of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from compact bone from human remains.

The application of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing methods for the potential identification of unknown human remains was investigated. DNA was isolated from compact bone tissue from badly decomposed bodies and from known and unknown human remains, using a decalcification and ion wash procedure. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) loci yielded results in some cases, but more often the DNA was too degraded to produce RFLP patterns. No RFLP profiles could be obtained from putrefied soft tissues. However, DNA extracted from compact bone tissue of human remains up to eleven years old was successfully amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the VNTR loci D1S80, D17S5, COL2A1, and APO B, as well as the HLA-DQ alpha locus. This is especially significant, since PCR results were obtained from those samples whose DNA had been degraded substantially and had yielded no RFLP patterns. All DNA types determined from the compact bone tissue from decomposed bodies whose identification had been established first by other means (and whose parents or offspring were available for typing) demonstrated mendelian inheritance of the alleles of the loci analyzed. These results suggest that amplification and typing of DNA extracted from compact bone of human remains could be useful in establishing the identity of a person, as well as in excluding possible false identifications.     

13个STR位点在人消化系统肿瘤组织中的变异分析

目的探讨13个CODIS-STR基因座在人消化系统肿瘤组织中的变异情况。方法收集55个个体的消化系统肿瘤组织及其正常组织和血样,Chelex100法提取DNA,用Profiler试剂盒和Cofiler试剂盒进行复合扩增,310型遗传分析仪检测。结果55例肿瘤组织中均存在细胞分裂异常现象,其中有2例肿瘤组织的STR位点发生了变异,变异的类型包括基因型改变、杂合型丢失和杂合双峰不平衡,而且变异可以是多位点同时发生。结论对肿瘤组织类型的样品进行STR分析时,应多加慎重,因为排除的位点可能来自肿瘤组织中的基因突变。     

An analysis of data curated from 5 years of identifying human remains

An archive of 5 years of cases involving the identification of human remains was curated, collecting information on: The sample type submitted, the number of STR loci yielding interpretable results, the kinship challenge posed, and the outcome for the case. A total of 129 cases of remains ID were investigated using manual DNA extraction and recovery methods with amplification of STR markers using the Power Plex 21 multiplex STR kit from Promega Corp. In 52 cases, blood spots collected by the ME were provided as sample and in 100% of those cases, probabilities of relatedness to the reference samples was ≥99%. In 77 cases, tissue other than blood was provided as a source of DNA. These other samples were grouped categorically into long bones (femur and tibia; 40 cases), skull bones/teeth (11 cases), other bones (16 cases), and tissue (normally adherent to bone) (10 cases). Reference samples provided for cases included alleged parents or child(ren) of the victim (86 cases), alleged full siblings of the victim (38 cases), or alleged second-order relatives (five cases). The overall success rate in confirming the identity of the source of the remains in these cases was 89.2%. Our results demonstrate that a laboratory can be often successful identifying human remains using methods easily implemented in any DNA typing laboratory.     

Results of collaborative study regarding the standardization of the Y-linked STR system DYS385 by the European DNA Profiling (EDNAP) group.

Y-chromosome linked short tandem repeat (STR) loci are inherited as a closely linked haplotype, which appears to remain stable in a given paternal lineage over many generations. In forensic cases, Y-linked STRs are particularly useful for the identification of human remains as well as in rape cases with mixed male/female stain samples. DYS385 is derived from tandemly duplicated segments of the Y chromosome thus giving rise to two fragments of variable length which do not behave like alleles but genotypes. The European DNA Profiling (EDNAP) group has carried out a collaborative exercise among 14 participating laboratories using DYS385 for typing of five unknown bloodstains and a control sample. Furthermore, population data from eight different European countries with samples sizes between 91 and 150 male individuals were collected. The results confirm previous observations that DYS385 is one of the most informative Y-linked STR loci. It could also be demonstrated that reproducible results can be obtained independently from the electrophoretic separation and detection methods used. Thus DYS385 may serve as a useful complementation to the routinely used autosomal STR systems in special cases.     

The First Successful Use of a Low Stringency Familial Match in a French Criminal Investigation

We describe how a very simple application of familial searching resolved a decade‐old, high‐profile rape/murder in France. This was the first use of familial searching in a criminal case using the French STR DNA database, which contains approximately 1,800,000 profiles. When an unknown forensic profile (18 loci) was searched against the French arrestee/offender database using CODIS configured for a low stringency search, a single low stringency match was identified. This profile was attributed to the father of the man suspected to be the source of the semen recovered from the murder victim Elodie Kulik. The identification was confirmed using Y‐chromosome DNA from the putative father, an STR profile from the mother, and finally a tissue sample from the exhumed body of the man who left the semen. Because of this identification, the investigators are now pursuing possible co‐conspirators.     

The Achilles tendon as a DNA source for STR typing of highly decayed corpses

Forensic criminal casework often involves DNA profiling of human postmortem tissues, whereas degradational processes can affect PCR-based Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis. Degradation of DNA is observed to vary among different tissues and with time. Therefore, the stability of DNA in Achilles tendon samples is compared to that in muscle and kidney specimens with a variety of postmortem histories. Tissue samples from 28 autopsy cases, including 15 decomposed corpses and a control group of 13 nondecayed corpses were analysed. DNA was isolated using the All-tissue DNA Kit (GEN-IAL, Troisdorf, Germany), quantified by spectrophotometric measurement, amplified by the multiplex PCR genRES MPX-2 (Serac, Bad Homburg, Germany), and analysed on the ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany). Quantitative analysis of nondecomposed tissues revealed that the recovery of DNA was highest in kidney followed by muscle, whereas Achilles tendon tissue was the poorest source of isolated DNA. Only small amounts of DNA were present in both kidney and muscle samples from decomposed corpses. However, from decayed Achilles tendon samples twice as much DNA as from nondecayed samples could be isolated on average. These results suggest DNA to be better protected in Achilles tendons. Moreover, postmortem changes in Achilles tendons may even improve DNA isolation.     

福尔马林固定组织SNP与STR检测的比较

目的检测经长期福尔马林固定的组织降解情况,并比较组织中SNP与STR的检出率。方法本文对24例经福尔马林固定、-20℃保存5年的组织样本,采用Quantifiler?Trio DNA定量试剂盒检测样本DNA的降解系数及浓度,运用55-SNPs SNa Pshot复合分型体系和Power Plex?21试剂盒分别进行SNP与STR检测。结果大部分样本降解系数在1~8,发生不同程度的降解。与未降解样本相比,SNP分型完全一致,检出率为100%;其中8例样本STR分型存在33个等位基因丢失,降解系数均大于2.6,且75.8%的等位基因片段长度大于300bp。当样本检测出16个STR基因座时,似然率与54个SNP相当。当样本检出大于17个STR时,似然率大于54个SNP。STR基因座片段长度与等位基因检出率之间呈负相关。除2例样本降解系数较小却发生等位基因丢失外,其余样本降解系数与等位基因检出率之间呈负相关。结论经福尔马林长期固定的组织DNA易降解,检测SNP明显优于STR,但需要更多的SNP以提高个体识别能力。
