Area of Science:

  • Forensic genetics
  • Molecular biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Microhaplotypes (MHs) offer advantages over traditional forensic markers like STRs and SNPs.
  • MHs possess high polymorphism, short amplicons, and low mutation rates, making them suitable for forensic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel 50-plex microhaplotype (MH) panel for forensic identification.
  • To assess the performance of the MH panel using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a 50-plex MH panel distributed across 21 chromosomes.
  • Analysis using the Multiseq multi-PCR targeted capture sequencing protocol on an MPS platform.
  • Validation of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy with diverse DNA samples, including degraded and mixed samples.

Main Results:

  • The panel demonstrated high sensitivity (0.25 ng) and accuracy, consistent with Sanger sequencing.
  • Measurable polymorphism was observed in 137 Southwest Chinese Han individuals.
  • High detection rates (100% for single, 93-100% for mixtures) were achieved for degraded DNA samples.
  • No significant deviations in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) or linkage disequilibrium (LD) were detected.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MPS-based 50-plex MH panel is a robust and powerful forensic tool.
  • This panel effectively supplements and enhances existing forensic identification strategies.
  • The panel shows promise for applications involving challenging samples like degraded or mixed DNA.
