In order to expand the database of variable DNA for forensic identification purposes in Venezuela, we analyzed the sequence polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) hypervariable regions (HVR) I-III from 100 unrelated individuals from the city of Caracas, using PCR amplification and fluorescent-based capillary electrophoresis sequencing method. Dominant haplogroups corresponded to Native Americans followed by African ones. The inclusion of HVR III although useful for sub-haplogroup assignation, added little to the discrimination capacity of our database.
为了扩充委内瑞拉用于法医鉴定的可变DNA数据库,我们采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增和基于荧光的毛细管电泳测序方法,分析了来自加拉加斯市100名无亲缘关系个体的线粒体DNA(mtDNA)高变区(HVR)I - III的序列多态性。主要单倍群对应美洲原住民,其次是非洲裔单倍群。尽管HVR III对于亚单倍群的划分有用,但对我们数据库的鉴别能力提升不大。
