Genetic Polymorphisms and Forensic Efficiencies of a Set of Novel Autosomal InDel Markers in a Chinese Mongolian Group.

ABSTRACT: Insertion/deletion (InDel) markers have been treated as a prospective and helpful aid in the fields of forensic human identifications and biogeography origin researches for the past few years. In this study, we analyzed genetic polymorphisms and forensic efficiencies of 35 InDels in a novel multiplex PCR-InDel panel in a Chinese Mongolian group. All these 35 InDel loci were observed to conform to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium. The mean values of expected heterozygosity and observed heterozygosity were 0.4788 and 0.4852, respectively. Besides, the interpopulation differentiations and genetic distributions based on 35 InDels found that the Chinese Mongolian group might have closer genetic relationships and similar population genetic structures with East Asian populations.

Project description:Abstract Sichuan Province is located at the transitional junction regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the low-altitude plains. It also serves as the corridor of Sino-Tibetan-speaking population migration and expansion since neolithic expansion of Proto-Tibeto-Burman populations from Middle/Upper Yellow River during Majiayao period (3300–2000 BC). However, the population structure and the corresponding genetic diversity of forensic-related markers in this region remain unclear. Thus, we genotyped 30 insertion-deletion (InDel) markers in 444 samples from four ethnic groups (Han, Tibetan, Hui and Yi) from Sichuan Province using the Investigator® DIPplex kit to explore the characteristics of population genetics and forensic genetic focuses. All the loci were found to be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) after applying a Bonferroni correction and no pairwise loci showed prominent linkage disequilibrium. The combined matching probability (CMP) and the combined power of discrimination (CPD) are larger than 1.8089 × 10−11 and 0.99999999995, respectively. Principal component analysis, multi-dimensional scaling plots and Neighbour-Joining tree among 65 worldwide populations indicated that Sichuan Hui and Han are genetically close to Hmong-Mien and Tai-Kadai-speaking populations, and Sichuan Tibetan and Yi bear a strong genetic affinity with Tibeto-Burman-speaking populations. The model-based genetic structure further supports the genetic affinity between the studied populations and linguistically close populations. Key Points Forensic parameters of 30 insertion-deletions (InDels) in 444 individuals from four populations are reported, which showed abundant genetic affinity and diversity among populations and high value in personal identification. Genetic similarities existed between the studied populations and ethnically, linguistically close populations. Sichuan Hui and Han are genetically close to Hmong-Mien and Tai-Kadai-speaking populations. Sichuan Tibetan and Yi bear a strong genetic affinity with Tibeto-Burman-speaking populations.
