This study evaluates the forensic utility of the 30 insertion and deletion (indel) markers contained in the Qiagen Investigator® DIPplex kit in the Kuwaiti population (n = 150). All but one of the 30 markers were shown to conform to the expectations of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Linkage disequilibrium tests showed no statistically significant deviation from independence. The high combined power of discrimination (CPD > 99.999%) and low combined match probability (CMP) of 2.736 × 10 provide a satisfactory level of discrimination, allowing the DIPplex loci to be used as forensic markers for individual identification in Kuwait. The paternity indices indicate the usefulness of the DIPplex kit as a supplementary typing system for challenging paternity cases in Kuwait.
本研究评估了 Qiagen Investigator® DIPplex 试剂盒中包含的 30 个插入/缺失（indel）标记在科威特人群（n=150）中的法医学实用性。30 个标记中有除一个外均符合 Hardy-Weinberg 平衡预期。连锁不平衡检验显示不存在与独立性有统计学意义的偏离。高的联合判别能力（CPD>99.999%）和低的联合匹配概率（CMP）为 2.736×10-4，提供了令人满意的判别水平，允许 DIPplex 基因座用作科威特个体识别的法医标记。亲权指数表明 DIPplex 试剂盒作为科威特有挑战性的亲子案件的补充分型系统是有用的。
