Additional sequence characterization of NIST SRM 2391c: PCR-Based DNA Profiling Standard

The NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2391c: PCR-Based DNA Profiling Standard was designed for use in the standardization of forensic and paternity quality assurance procedures for fragment-based typing short tandem repeat (STR) alleles generated by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Certified genotypes of the 6 components A–F were assigned for 24 autosomal and 17 Y-STR markers plus Amelogenin using concordance testing between commercial kits. Selected Sanger sequencing characterization was performed for the alleles of 11 STR markers when only one PCR primer set was available for fragment-based typing. The goal is to characterize the remaining 30 STR loci in components A–C by Sanger sequencing methods for the STR repeat regions and adjacent flanking regions. Additional characterization of the SRM is intended to support the emerging interest in next-generation sequencing technologies for forensic typing applications. Sanger methods have detected underlying polymorphisms (sequence, insertion-deletion, variation in complex motifs) typically not detected by fragment-based typing. The sequenced regions include the commercial or known PCR binding sites commonly implemented in fragment-based typing.     

Genetic Polymorphism of Nine Non-CODIS STR Loci in Hu-nan Province-based Chinese Han Population

Objective To determine the allelic frequency distribution and genetic parameters of nine non-CODIS DNA index systems of the short tandem repeat （STR） loci （D2S1772, D6S1043, D7S3048, D8Sl132, DllS2368, D12S391, D13S325, D18S1364, and GATA198B05）. Methods A total of 353 blood samples were collected, extracted, amplified, and analyzed from unrelated healthy individuals of Han na- tionality in Hunan Province, China. Results One hundred and fourteen alleles were observed in the pop- ulation with corresponding allelic frequencies ranged from 0.001 0 to 0.323 0. For all the nine non-CODIS STR loci, the observed genotypic data showed no significant deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equi- librium. The Ho, He, PIC, DP, and PE of the studied non-CODIS STR loci ranged from 0.108 0 to 0.1950, 0.805 0 to 0.8920, 0.7700 to 0.8600, 0.9250 to 0.9660 and 0.6070 to 0.7800, respectively. Conclusion Nine non-CODIS STR loci have high degrees of polymorphisms, which may be useful in in- dividual forensic identification and parentage testing in forensic practice.

Long Allele Designations at D2S1338 and D19S433 Loci as Influenced by Various Multiplex STR Kits

European forensic laboratories are replacing the STR multiplex kits with the new generation 16/17 STR kits. This study examines the influence of the new generation kits and the new Applied Biosystems 3500xL Genetic Analyzer on the designation of long D2S1338 and D19S433 off‐ladder alleles. Different allele calls were obtained using the new NGM? (Applied Biosystems) and PowerPlex^® ESI? (Promega) kits compared with AmpF?STR^® SGM Plus? kit (Applied Biosystems). Sequence analysis was used to determine accurate allele designation. The new multiplex kits and the 3500xL Genetic Analyzer improved accuracy of long allele designations. DNA databases worldwide include countless profiles obtained by previous kits. Discrepancies between the new and former technologies may cause failure to detect hits. Discordance is expected due to primer sequence differences between various kits. An additional discordance, occurring in long alleles, independent of primer sequence is reported in this study.     

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.
