Insertion/deletion (INDELs) marker sets can serve as a useful supplementary tool for human identification. A commercial kit, the Qiagen DIPplex(®) Investigator kit, multiplexes 30 biallelic autosomal INDELs and Amelogenin for forensic use. We performed a validation study based on the DIPplex(®) kit in four Chinese populations: Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Kazakh. There were no significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or significant linkage disequilibrium (pair-wised r(2)<0.2) between the 30 INDELs. The random match probabilities were in the range of 3.84 × 10(-11) to 1.20 × 10(-12), and the power of exclusion was >0.99. The multiplex PCR was optimized for a 5-μL volume, full profiles were obtained with 0.062 ng/μL of template DNA, and excellent performance was obtained with degraded casework samples. This study demonstrates that the multiplex INDEL assay can be used as a supplementary method for degraded DNA detection in the studied Chinese populations.
插入/缺失(INDELs)标记集可作为人类身份识别的有用补充工具。一种商业试剂盒,即Qiagen DIPplex® Investigator试剂盒,可对30个双等位基因常染色体INDELs和牙釉蛋白基因进行多重检测,用于法医鉴定。我们基于DIPplex®试剂盒在四个中国人群(汉族、藏族、维吾尔族和哈萨克族)中进行了验证研究。这30个INDELs之间没有显著偏离哈迪-温伯格平衡,也没有显著的连锁不平衡(成对r²<0.2)。随机匹配概率在3.84×10⁻¹¹至1.20×10⁻¹²之间,排除概率>0.99。多重PCR针对5μL体积进行了优化,使用0.062 ng/μL的模板DNA可获得完整图谱,对降解的实际案件样本也有出色表现。本研究表明,多重INDEL检测可作为在所研究的中国人群中检测降解DNA的补充方法。
