Abstract
Current forensic DNA profiles are obtained based on analyses of PCR product sizes or DNA sequence polymorphisms. Sometimes routine forensic analysis using short tandem repeat (STR) generates unsuccessful DNA testing result if the biological sample encountered is excessively degraded and low-template DNA. Herein, a new six-color fluorescence labeling system, including 59 autosomal diallelic deletion or insertion polymorphisms (DIPs), 2 miniSTRs, 2 Y-chromosome DIPs, and 1 Amelogenin gene with the amplicon sizes of less than 200bp, was self-developed. According to the validation guidelines for DNA analysis methods formulated by the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods, the validation studies have also been carried out for the multiplex system. This novel panel possessed the features of strong stability, high sensitivity, and good specificity, which was especially suitable for the forensic degraded and mixed sample detections. The cumulative power of exclusion and cumulative matching probability of the system were 0.9999978 and 9.833E-28, respectively, in Han Chinese in Hunan, China. Moreover, this system will be an effective new tool that can be independently applied to forensic personal identification and paternity testing in the populations from the East Asia region, even from the South Asia, America, and Europe regions. The system can also contribute to population phylogenetic affinity and genetic structure analyses among different populations.
