Area of Science:

  • Forensic Genetics
  • Population Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Microhaplotypes (MHs) are emerging as powerful genetic markers in forensic science.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable high-throughput analysis of genetic markers.
  • Accurate and reliable forensic tools are crucial for human identification and ancestry inference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and evaluate a 163 microhaplotype (MH) multiplex assay for forensic applications.
  • To assess the performance, accuracy, and reliability of the developed MH assay.
  • To determine the applicability of the MH assay for population differentiation, human identification, and mixture deconvolution.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 163 microhaplotype (MH) multiplex assay utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • Evaluation of assay accuracy, repeatability, and reliability across different populations.
  • Selection and analysis of highly polymorphic MH markers in the Chinese Eastern Han population.
  • Mixture studies to assess deconvolution capabilities for samples with varying proportions.

Main Results:

  • The 163 MH assay demonstrated high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability.
  • The assay successfully distinguished between African, European-American, Southern Asian, and Eastern Asian populations.
  • Forty-eight selected MHs in the Chinese Eastern Han population exhibited high polymorphism with strong discriminatory and exclusionary powers.
  • The MH assay proved effective in deconvoluting mixtures of two to five individuals.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 163 MH assay is a robust tool for forensic genetic analysis.
  • This MH assay is suitable for ancestry inference, human identification, and paternity testing.
  • The assay's capability in mixture deconvolution supports its application in complex forensic casework.
