Developmental validation of the novel six-dye Goldeneye^TM DNA ID System 35InDel kit for forensic application.

ABSTRACT: Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) have been treated as a prospective and helpful genetic marker in the fields of forensic human identification, anthropology and population genetics for the past few years. In this study, we developed a six-dye multiplex typing system consisting of 34 autosomal InDels and Amelogenin for forensic application. The contained InDels were specifically selected for Chinese population with the MAF ≥ 0.25 in East Asia, which do not overlap with the markers of Investigator^® DIPplex kit. The typing system was named as Goldeneye^TM DNA ID System 35InDel Kit, and a series of developmental validation studies including repeatability/reproducibility, concordance, accuracy, sensitivity, stability, species specificity and population genetics were conducted on this kit. We confirmed that the 35InDel kit is precise, sensitive, species specific and robust for forensic practice. Moreover, the 35InDel kit is capable of typing DNA extracted from forensic routine case-type samples as well as degraded samples and mixture samples. All markers are proved to be highly polymorphic with an average observed heterozygosity (He) of 0.4582. The combined power of discrimination (CPD) is 0.999 999 999 999 978 and the combined power of exclusion in duos (CPE_D) and trios (CPE_T) are 0.978 837 and 0.999573, respectively, which are higher than those of the Investigator^® DIPplex kit. Thus, the Goldeneye^TM DNA ID System 35InDel kit is suitable for forensic human identification and could serve as a supplementary typing system for paternity testing.

Project description:With the widespread use of the Y chromosome in genetics, a lot of commercially available Y chromosome kits were developed, validated, and applied to forensic science practice. The AGCU YNFS Y Kit is a new Y chromosome system containing forty-four preferred Y short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) and five common Y-InDels. In this study, the AGCU YNFS Y system was validated to verify its performance by following the guidelines of the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM). A series of validation experiments included the following parameters: PCR-based studies, sensitivity studies, species specificity studies, stability studies, mixture studies, precision studies, stutter calculation, mutation and statistical analysis, population study, and case samples and degradation studies. The results suggested that appropriately changing PCR amplification conditions did not affect genotyping; the kit had good sensitivity for trace amounts of DNA (0.0625 ng), mixtures of multiple male individuals (minor: major = 1: 9), and three PCR inhibitors (more than 250 μM hematin, 250 ng/μL humic acid and 50 ng/μL tannic acid). The maximum standard deviation of allele size did not exceed 0.1552 reflecting the high accuracy of the system. By this, 87 DNA-confirmed pairs of father-son pairs were also analyzed for mutations. A total of 18 loci were mutated, with mutation rates ranging from 11.5×10-3 to 34.5×10-3 (95% CI 7.2×10-3-97.5×10-3, DYS627 and DYF404S1). In the population study, the haplotype diversity of 87 unrelated individuals was 0.9997, and discrimination capacity was 0.9885. Degradation studies have demonstrated that UV-C light exposure for up to 120 hours has no effect on male blood and semen-vaginal secretion mixtures. However, complete typing could no longer be obtained after 48 hours of UV exposure in single male saliva and in male saliva and female blood mixed samples. Collectively, the AGCU YNFS Y Kit is sensitive and accurate and can play its application value in forensic science practice.

Project description:BackgroundShort tandem repeat (STR) markers play a significant role in genetic applications and have proved to be effective for the personal identification in forensic medicine. In this study, a six-dye multiplex composed of 23 autosomal STR loci (TH01, D3S1358, Penta D, D6S1043, D21S11, TPOX, D1S1656, D12S391, Penta E, D10S1248, D22S1045, D19S433, D8S1179, D2S1338, D2S441, D18S51, vWA, FGA, D16S539, CSF1PO, D13S317, D5S818, D7S820), one Y chromosome STR (DYS391), two internal quality control markers (Quality Sensor QS1 and QS2), and Amelogenin was evaluated.MethodsEvaluation studies, including PCR-based studies, sensitivity studies, species specificity studies, stability studies, DNA mixture studies, concordance studies, and precision evaluations were performed according to the guidelines of "Validation Guidelines for Forensic DNA Analysis Methods (2016)" by the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM). In addition, the forensic characteristics of 357 unrelated male samples from Han and Hui populations in China were investigated using 27 markers.ResultsFull STR profiles were obtained from different reaction volumes (5 ~ 25 μl), cycle numbers (28 ~ 34 cycles) and annealing temperatures (58 ~ 62°C). All STR profiles were obtained at humic acid concentration of up to 200 ng/μl and hematin concentration of up to 500 μM. No peaks were observed in most common animal samples except two innovative internal PCR controls (Quality Sensor QS1 and QS2). The six-dye multiplex showed a notably high value for the combined probability of exclusion (CPE), exhibiting values of with 0.99999999977688 in the Han population and 0.999999999583875 in the Hui population. The values of combined probability of discrimination (CPD) were 0.999999999999999999999999999997453 in the Han population and 0. 999999999999999999999999999994398 in the Hui population. In addition, concordance studies showed that there was no difference with the AGCU Express Marker 22 Kit.ConclusionThe results indicated that the Investigator® 26plex QS Kit is a robust, reliable, and suitable tool for forensic analysis and databasing.
