STR investigations of telogen hair are invariably difficult due to the small amounts of nuclear DNA and its degradation products. However, in recent years there has been a considerable improvement. This study examined the suitability of a new STR kit with shortened amplicons for the investigation of hair in routine casework. This kit allows the simultaneous amplification of the eight STR-loci D3S1358, VWA, FGA, TH01, SE33, D8S1179, D18S51, and D21S11, and the sex-determining amelogenin system. It was tested against the genRES MPX-SP1 and genRES MPX-SP2 kits. The sensitivity of the new genRES MPX-2SP kit was demonstrated to be inferior to that of the genRES MPX-SP1, but almost equal to that of the genRES MPX-SP2 kit.
由于休止期毛发中的核DNA及其降解产物含量很少,对其进行短串联重复序列(STR)分析一直都很困难。然而,近年来情况有了相当大的改善。本研究检验了一种具有更短扩增子的新型STR试剂盒在常规案件毛发检验中的适用性。该试剂盒能够同时扩增8个STR基因座,即D3S1358、VWA、FGA、TH01、SE33、D8S1179、D18S51和D21S11,以及用于性别鉴定的牙釉蛋白系统。该试剂盒与genRES MPX - SP1和genRES MPX - SP2试剂盒进行了对比测试。结果表明,新型genRES MPX - 2SP试剂盒的灵敏度低于genRES MPX - SP1试剂盒,但几乎与genRES MPX - SP2试剂盒相当。
