Abstract
Mutation rates and 95% CI of 33 short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D1S2142, D2S1338, D2S441, D3S1358, D3S1754, D5S818, D6S1043, D7S3048, D7S820, D8S1132, D8S1179, D10S1248, D11S2368, D12S391, D13S1492, D13S317, D13S325, D14S306, D15S659, D16S539, D18S1364, D18S51, D19S433, D20S161, D21S11, D22GATA198B05, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, TH01, TPOX, and vWA) were investigated through more than 424,000 parent-child meiotic transfers obtained from 10636 trios parentage testing cases in southwest Chinese Han population. Overall, 297, including 292 single-step, 4 double-step and 1 triple-step mutation events were observed. The average mutation rate was 0.70 Ã 10â3. Most of the locus-specific mutation rates (varied from 0.20 Ã 10â3 to 1.96 Ã 10â3) were lower than the other datasets (p < 0.05). Mutations of 7 loci are reported for the first time. Mutation rates varied with population from different ethnicities and geographical regions. There was no significant difference between mutation expansion and contraction (â¼1.04:1). Paternal origin mutations occurred more frequently than maternal origin ones (â¼5.02:1). In addition, mutation rates indicated positive correlation with the expected heterozygosity (He) and geometric mean of longest run of perfect repeats (LRPR), respectively. Short alleles showed a trend toward mutation gain while long alleles trended toward mutation loss. A credible forensic dataset for locus-specific mutation rates of 33 loci has been established based upon strict inclusion criteria of large-sized parents/child-trio cases.
