The distribution of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) haplotypes was determined in a population of Taiwanese Paiwan aboriginals. Using 17 Y-STR markers, a total of 135 haplotypes were observed, 102 of which were unique. The overall haplotype diversity for the 17 Y-STR loci tested was 0.9922 and the discrimination capacity was 0.6490. In addition, three novel intermediate alleles at the DYS448 locus were also found. ...[more]

Project description:Here we studied the genetic polymorphism and evolutionary differentiation of the Guangdong Liannan Yao population based on 15 autosomal STR loci and 19 Y chromosomal STR loci. The blood card DNA of 302 unrelated individuals from the Yao Autonomous County of Liannan was directly amplified using an Expressmarker 16?+?19Y kit and genotyped using a 3500XL Genetic Analyzer. For the autosomal STR loci, the CPD value was over 0.999 999 999 999, while the CPE value was over 0.9999. The population comparison revealed a closer relationship between the Liannan Yao population and the She ethnic population than other reported Chinese populations. For the Y-STRs, a total of 102 unique haplotypes were obtained, 87 of which were observed only once. Both RST pairwise analysis and a multidimensional scaling plot showed that the Liannan Yao population is closely related to the Fujian She ethnic population and is significantly different from other Chinese ethnic populations. The results show that the 15 autosomal STR and 19 Y-STR loci are valuable for forensic applications and human genetic studies in the Liannan Yao population.

Project description:Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a convenient tool for the screening of asymptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding while 「guaiac-based fecal occult test (G-FOBT) 」 is increasingly replaced by the use of an 「immunochemical-based test (I-FOBT) 」 that reacts with human globin, a protein that is digested by upper GI enzymes and is specific for detecting lower GI bleeding. However, in Taiwan, although the incidence of colorectal cancer is rapidly increasing, Helicobacter pylori-related upper GI pathologies remain highly prevalent, which may imply that mass screening solely based on I-FOBT could be insufficient as significant upper GI pathologies can be missed. Since I-FOBT dose not predict upper GI pathologies, the adjuncts of G-FOBT and H. pylori stool-antigen test (HpSA) may be a potential candidate to realize a pan-detecting assay based on stool samples in a population in which both lower and upper GI lesions are equally prevalent.

Project description:Assignment of alleles to haplotypes for nearly all the variants on all chromosomes can be performed by genetic analysis of a nuclear family with three or more children. Whole-genome sequence data enable deterministic phasing of nearly all sequenced alleles by permitting assignment of recombinations to precise chromosomal positions and specific meioses. We demonstrate this process of genetic phasing on two families each with four children. We generate haplotypes for all of the children and their parents; these haplotypes span all genotyped positions, including rare variants. Misassignments of phase between variants (switch errors) are nearly absent. Our algorithm can also produce multimegabase haplotypes for nuclear families with just two children and can handle families with missing individuals. We implement our algorithm in a suite of software scripts (Haploscribe). Haplotypes and family genome sequences will become increasingly important for personalized medicine and for fundamental biology.

Project description:A total of 2 548 unrelated healthy father-son pairs from a Northern Han Chinese population were genotyped at 41 Y chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STRs) including DYS19, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS444, DYS447, DYS448, DYS449, DYS456, DYS458, DYS460, DYS481, DYS518, DYS522, DYS549, DYS533, DYS557, DYS570, DYS576, DYS593, DYS596, DYS627, DYS635, DYS643, DYS645, Y-GATA-H4, DYF387S1a/b, DYF404S1a/b, DYS385a/b, and DYS527a/b. In 2 548 father samples, 2 387 unique haplotypes were detected with the haplotype diversity and discrimination capacity values of 0.999 956 608 and 0.96 741 007. The average gene diversity (GD) value was 0.6934 with a range from 0.1051 at DYS645 to 0.9657 at DYS385a/b. When comparing alleles at 24 overlapped Y-STRs between the ForenSeq™ deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Signature Prep Kit on the MiSeq FGx® Forensic Genomics System and the Goldeneye® DNA ID Y Plus Kit on the Applied Biosystems™ 3730 DNA Analyzer from 308 father samples in mutational pairs, 258 alleles were detected by massively parallel sequencing (MPS) typing including 156 length-based alleles that could be obtained by capillary electrophoresis (CE) typing, 95 repeat region (RR) variant alleles and seven flanking region variant alleles. Hereof, we found 16 novel RR variant alleles and firstly identified two SNPs (rs2016239814 at DYS19 and rs2089968964 at DYS448) and one 4-bp deletion (rs2053269960 at DYS439) that had been validated by the Database of Short Genetic Variation. Sanger sequencing or MPS was employed to confirm 356 mutations from 104 468 allele transfers generated from CE, where 96.63% resulted in one-step mutations, 2.25% in two-step, and 1.12% in multi-step, and the overall ratio of repeat gains versus losses was balanced (173 gains vs. 183 losses). In 308 father-son pairs, 268 pairs occurred mutations at a single locus, 33 pairs at two loci, six pairs at three loci, and one pair at four loci. The average Y-STR mutation rate at 41 Y-STRs was ⁓3.4 × 10-3 (95% confidence intervals: 3.1 × 10-3-3.8 × 10-3). The mutation rates at DYS576 and DYS627 were higher than 1 × 10-2 in Northern Han Chinese, whilst the mutation rates at DYF387S1a/b, DYF404S1a/b, DYS449, DYS518, and DYS570 were lower than initially defined. In this study, the classical molecular factors (the longer STR region, the more complex motif and the order father) were confirmed to drive Y-STR mutation rates increased, but the length of repeat unit did not conform to the convention. Lastly, the interactive graphical and installable StatsY was developed to facilitate forensic scientists to automatically calculate allele and haplotype frequencies, forensic parameters, and mutation rates at Y-STRs.Key points308 of 2 548 father-son pairs from Northern Han Chinese occurred at least one mutation(s) across 41 Y-STRs.Sanger sequencing or MPS was employed to confirm those mutations generated from CE.The longer STR region, the more complex motif and the order father drove Y-STR mutation rates increased.StatsY was developed to calculate allele and haplotype frequencies, forensic parameters and mutation rates at Y-STRs.

Project description:Male-specifically inherited Y-STRs, harboring the features of haploidy and lack of crossing over, have gained considerable attention in population genetics and forensic investigations. Goldeneye® Y-PLUS kit was a recently developed amplification system focused on the genetic diversity of 36 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) in East Asians. However, no population data and corresponding forensic features were reported in China. Here, 36 Y-STRs were first genotyped in 400 unrelated healthy Tai-Kadai-speaking Bouyei male individuals. A total of 371 alleles and 396 haplotypes could be detected, and the allelic frequencies ranged from 0.0025 to 0.9875. The haplotype diversity, random match probability and discrimination capacity values were 0.9999, 0.0026 and 0.9900, respectively. The gene diversity (GD) of 36 Y-STR loci in the studied group ranged from 0.0248 (DYS645) to 0.9601 (DYS385a/b). Population comparisons between the Guizhou Bouyei and 80 reference groups were performed via the AMOVA, MDS, and phylogenetic relationship reconstruction. The results showed that the population stratification was almost consistent with the geographic distribution and language-family, both among Chinese and worldwide ethnic groups. Our newly genotyped Bouyei samples show a close affinity with other Tai-Kadai-speaking groups in China and Southeast Asia. Our data may provide useful information for paternal lineage in the forensic application and population genetics, as well as evidence for archaeological and historical research.

Project description:X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) may assist resolution of complex forensic kinship cases and complement autosomal and Y-chromosomal STRs in routine forensic practice and population genetics. In the present study, we investigated the allele/haplotype diversity and forensic genetic characteristics of 19 X- STRs in 206 Guizhou Han and 1344 Meta-Han Chinese individuals using AGCU X19 PCR amplification system. Population relationships within five Han Chinese population groups (1344 individuals), between Guizhou Han and other 19 Chinese reference populations belonging to four language families (5074 individuals), as well as between Meta-Han Chinese and other 15 minorities (3730 individuals) were performed using Reynolds's, Nei's and Fst genetic distances, principal component analysis (PCA), multidimensional scaling (MDS), Structure and Neighbor-Joining tree. Mean paternity exclusion chance (MEC) in Duos > 0.99999999453588 and in trios > 0.99999999999781, as well as power of discrimination (PD) > 0.99999999999980 in Guizhou Han on the basis of allele frequencies. Consistent high MECs and PDs can be observed in Meta-Han Chinese population based on both allele diversities of 19 markers and haplotype diversities of seven linkage groups (LG). DXS10135 and LG1 are the most informative and polymorphic in Han Chinese group. The comprehensive population comparisons reveal that Han Chinese is a homogenous population and has the genetically closer relationship with Hmong-Mien-speaking groups than Tibetan-Burman-speaking and Turkic-speaking populations. In summary, AGCU X19 PCR amplification system is highly polymorphic and informative in Guizhou Han and Han Chinese populations. The comprehensive population data from 20 Chinese populations analyzed in this study may be used as a reference Chinese frequency database of X-STRs for forensic casework applications.

Project description:BackgroundAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined as a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. Interplay between de novo and inherited rare variants has been suspected in the development of ASD.MethodsHere, we applied 750K oligonucleotide microarray analysis and whole-exome sequencing (WES) to five trios from Taiwanese families with ASD.ResultsThe chromosomal microarray analysis revealed three representative known diagnostic copy number variants that contributed to the clinical presentation: the chromosome locations 2q13, 1q21.1q21.2, and 9q33.1. WES detected 22 rare variants in all trios, including four that were newly discovered, one of which is a de novo variant. Sequencing variants of JMJD1C, TCF12, BIRC6, and NHS have not been previously reported. A novel de novo variant was identified in NHS (p.I7T). Additionally, seven pathogenic variants, including SMPD1, FUT2, BCHE, MYBPC3, DUOX2, EYS, and FLG, were detected in four probands. One of the involved genes, SMPD1, had previously been reported to be mutated in patients with Parkinson's disease.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that de novo or inherited rare variants and copy number variants may be double or multiple hits of the probands that lead to ASD. WES could be useful in identifying possible causative ASD variants.

Project description:BACKGROUND: E-selectin is implicated in various inflammatory processes and related disorders. We aimed to investigate the role of SELE-gene genotypes/haplotypes on plasma levels of MMP9 and sE-selectin in Taiwanese individuals. METHODS: Five hundred twenty individuals were enrolled. Seven tagging SELE single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed. RESULTS: SELE genotypes were found associated with MMP9 and sE-selectin levels. Multivariate analysis identified that the most significant genetic polymorphism (rs5368 genotype) was independently associated with MMP9 levels (P < 0.001). One haplotype (GGAGAGT) was marginally associated with MMP9 levels (P = 0.0490). One SELE SNP, (rs3917406, P = 0.031) was associated with sE-selectin levels after adjusting for MMP9 and sICAM1 levels. Subgroup and interaction analysis revealed association of SELE SNP rs10800469 with sE-selectin levels only in the highest quartile of MMP9 level (P = 0.002, interaction P = 0.023). Haplotype analysis showed one haplotype (AAAAAGC) borderline associated with sE-selectin level (P = 0.0511). CONCLUSION: SELE genotypes/haplotypes are independently associated with MMP9 and E-selectin levels in Taiwanese individuals. The associations of SELE genotypes/haplotypes with sE-selectin levels are affected by MMP9 levels.

Project description:ObjectiveHLA-C*04:82 is a low incidence HLA-C allele. The aim here is to report the ethnicity of C*04:82 and its associated HLA haplotypes among Taiwanese individuals.Materials and methodsA sequence-based typing method was used to confirm this low incidence allele. Polymerase chain reaction was performed to amplify exons 2 and 3 of the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C loci and exon 2 of the HLA-DRB1 locus using group-specific primer sets. The amplicons were sequenced in both directions using Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction kits and the manufacturer's protocols. The potential unrelated bone marrow stem cell donors in this study were randomized individuals with Taiwanese ethnicity who participated in the Tzu Chi Bone Marrow Donor Registry. The family members in the family part of the study were volunteer blood donors.ResultsThe DNA sequence of C*04:82 was identical to C*04:01:01:01 in exons 2, 3, and 4. It differed from C*04:01:01:01 in exon 5 where a segment of nucleotides (CTAGCTGTC) was inserted between residues 969 and 970 of C*04:01:01:01. The insertion of these nucleotides caused a 35 amino acid alteration to the protein sequence of C*04:01:01:01. Three probable HLA haplotypes that were associated with C*04:82 among Taiwanese individuals were deduced. Confirmation of the DNA and protein sequences of C*04:82 and its Taiwanese ethnicity were established in this study.ConclusionThe ethnicity of the C*04:82 allele and the deduced probable HLA haplotypes associated with the low-incidence C*04:82 allele are of value for reference purposes for HLA testing laboratories. In addition, they can be used by search coordinators to aid the creation of a strategy for finding compatible stem cell donors for patients who carry this uncommon HLA allele.
