This study details the differentiation of identical twins based on single mutational base differences. There were three pairs of male monozygotic (MZ) twins in this study. DNA samples from blood, a buccal swab or saliva from each individual were all initially genotyped using 22 autosomal STR and 27 Y-STR loci. Preliminary screening confirmed there were no differences in the STR data between each pair of MZ twins. Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) data were generated from DNA extracted from the three body fluids from each individual. Kinship coefficients with 0.4254, 0.4557 and 0.4543 from 3 twins were generated based on WGS data to further confirm that their relationship was that of MZ twins. The fastq data generated by the Illumina Hiseq 2000 between MZ twins were then treated as "normal" as opposed to "tumor" using commercially available software tools to identify mutational single base changes. Sanger DNA sequencing confirmed there were 1, 5 and 9 single base changes found in WGS data from each of the three MZ twin sets. There was individual variation in the mutational base changes when comparing data from the three body fluids. The methods used in this study to differentiate MZ twins based on WGS data can readily be performed in many operational forensic DNA laboratories using user friendly software.
本研究详细介绍了基于单碱基突变差异的同卵双胞胎的区分。本研究中有三对男性同卵(MZ)双胞胎。从每个人的血液、口腔拭子或唾液中提取 DNA 样本,最初使用 22 个常染色体 STR 和 27 个 Y-STR 基因座进行基因分型。初步筛选证实,MZ 双胞胎之间的 STR 数据没有差异。从每个人的三种体液中提取 DNA 生成全基因组序列(WGS)数据。基于 WGS 数据生成的三对双胞胎的亲缘系数分别为 0.4254、0.4557 和 0.4543,进一步证实他们的关系是 MZ 双胞胎。然后,使用商业上可用的软件工具,将 MZ 双胞胎之间生成的 Illumina Hiseq 2000 的 fastq 数据处理为“正常”,而不是“肿瘤”,以识别突变单碱基变化。Sanger DNA 测序证实,在三个 MZ 双胞胎组的 WGS 数据中分别发现了 1、5 和 9 个单碱基变化。在比较三种体液数据时,突变碱基变化存在个体差异。本研究中使用 WGS 数据区分 MZ 双胞胎的方法可以在许多操作型法医 DNA 实验室中使用用户友好的软件轻松实现。
