Abstract

Insertion/Deletion (InDel) polymorphic genetic markers are abundant in human genomes. Diallelic InDel markers have been widely studied for forensic purposes, yet the low polymorphic information content limits their application and current InDel panels remain to be improved. In this study, multi-allelic InDels located out of low complexity sequence regions were selected in the datasets from East Asian populations, and a multiplex amplification system containing 31 multi-allelic InDel markers and the Amelogenin marker (FA-HID32plex) was constructed and optimized. The preliminary study on sensitivity, species specificity, inhibitor tolerance, mixture resolution, and the detection of degraded samples demonstrates that the FA-HID32plex is highly sensitive, specific, and robust for traces and degraded samples. The combined power of discrimination (CPD) of 31 multi-allelic InDel markers was 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 85, and the cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) was 0.999 920 in a Chinese Han population, which indicates a high discrimination power. Altogether, the FA-HID32plex panel could provide reliable supplements or stand-alone information in individual identification and paternity testing, especially for challenging samples.
