[Microdeletion and Mutation of Y Chromosome in Full Sibling Identification]
1Forensic Science Service of Beijing Public Security Bureau, Beijing 100192, China.
Objectives:
To explore the identification method of full sibling between two males with microdeletion and mutation of Y chromosome.
Methods:
DNA were extracted from two samples. The type testing of Y-STR and autosomal STR were performed. Full sibling between two individuals was calculated by IBS, ITO and discriminant functions methods.
Results:
There were 2 loci mutations existed in 33 Y-STR loci and one of the two samples had 19 loci deletions. The IBS of two samples was 53 and greater than the threshold which was 42; FSI was 1.36×10¹⁶ and far greater than 19. The discriminant function of full sibling-unrelated individual DFS2 was greater than DR2, which meant the two individuals tend to be full sibling.
Conclusions:
The methods of IBS, ITO and discriminant functions of full sibling-unrelated individual can be used comprehensively to provide more reliable expert opinion in microdeletion and mutation of Y chromosome in full sibling identification.

Evolution
Around 300 million years ago, the two sex chromosomes diverged from two identical autosomal chromosomes. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes, shrinking in size....
