SNP genotyping by multiplex amplification and microarrays assay for forensic application.

OBJECTIVE: Research on the application feasibility of SNP genotyping for forensic identification by microarrays. METHODS: Oligonucleotide microarrays which could detect 34 different SNPs were used. After hybridization and washing, the arrays were scanned and fluorescence intensities analyzed using Microarray software. Population studies on 34 SNP loci were carried out in a sample of 109 unrelated Chinese Han individuals using oligonucleotide microarrays for genotype detection. The method was also applied to cases. RESULTS: According to the results of population studies, no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be found. Among the 34 loci, 3 SNPs were low informative, 4 were medium informative and 27 were high informative. The combination discrimination power (CDP) of the 31 optimal polymorphic SNPs was 0.9999999999979. The matching probability was 2.13 x 10(-12). The average exclusion probability in paternity testing for duos was 0.9609. The average exclusion probability in paternity testing for trios was 0.9970. CONCLUSION: The data and case application demonstrated that SNP typing by oligonucleotide probe microarrays was a useful technique for paternity testing and individual identification. Combined with the 28 SNPs loci distributed on HLA-DRB1 and ABO genes, the combination discrimination power (CDP) was 0.9999999999999910. The matching probability was 9.02 x 10(-15). The average exclusion probabilities in duos and in trios were 0.9894 and 0.9992, respectively. It may be concluded that the 59 SNPs loci yield the same power in forensic identification as CODIS STRs currently used.

[Detecting genetic polymorphisms of CYP1 A1 and GSTM1 simultaneously with oligonucleotide microarray].

Cytochrome P4501A1 plays a major role in the bioactivation of a number of tobacco procarcinogens. Glutathione S-transferase( GSTM1), a member of the class of GST gene family, has been shown to be polymorphic because of gene deletion resulting in a failure to express the GSTM1 gene in 50% approximately 60% of individuals. Some CYP1 A1/GSTM1 null genotype combinations seem to predispose the lung, esophagus, and oral cavity of smokers to an even higher risk for cancer or DNA damage, requiring, however, confirmation. An easy and reliable oligonuleotide microarray approach validated through direct sequencing method is developed in order to accurately detect single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP1 A1 gene and discriminate the presence and absence of GSTM1 gene. The m1 (Msp I) and m2 (Ile462Val) polymorphisms of CYP1 A1 gene and GSTM1 null genotype were also determined in a random population of 84 healthy, unrelated volunteers with developed microarray-based method. Of 84 cases, 47.6% were calssified as GSTM1 null, close to the published data. It's interesting that there lack three genotypes of m1 -m2 locus in the population: TT-AG, TT-GG and TC-GG. However, according to the data of the genotype frequencies independently happened at both m1 and m2 site, the combination frequencies of above three genotypes are 11.4%, 2.6%, and 3.1% respectively. Therefore we assume that the haplotypes of m1 -m2 are only T-A, C-A and C-G, but not T-G, as it were,there is no recombination happened between m1 site and m2 site. The frequencies of three haplotypes of T-A, C-A and C-G, calculated through corresponding genotypes, are 69.6%, 7.7% and 22.6% respectively.
