项目摘要

Last year, we could obtain DNA specimens of 100 Chinese individuals, and investigated the allele frequencies of three polymorphic sites in DNA flanking D1S8 (MS32) and D7S21 (MS31A) loci. Haplotype frequencies in Chinese were compared with those in Japanese and Caucasians which had been already reported. Distribution of haplotypes in Chinese is not significantly different from that in Japanese, but significantly different from that in Caucasian. Allele-specific MVR-PCR based on the selective amplification of single allele from total genomic DNA using allele-specific PCR primers was then performed. Although MVR-PCR allele codes are highly polymorphic, the similarity of the internal structure can be analysed by dot matrix analysis. Furthermore, different alleles can have related flanking haplotypes, presumably due to sharing recent common ancestors. When groups of aligned MS32 alleles or MS31A alleles were made by dot matrix analysis, we have already shown that Caucasian, Aflican black and Japanese have strong tendency to form unique groups composed of mostly the same spieces. In this study, we found that Chinese alleles often had the same motif as that of Japanese alleles resulting in the groups consist of only Japanese and Chinese alleles. Thus, using MVR-PCR allele codes and flanking haplotypes, we could show that Chinese alleles were chosely related to Japanese alleles. Allele mapping of D16S309 (MS205) was also performed with Japanese DNA specimens. We can usually obtain MVR-PCR maps of whole alleles at this locus because the length of the most alleles is short. We found that Japanese had rather short alleles, and their internal structures were somewhat diffrenent from those of Caucasians. We also showed the usufullness of MVR-PCR mapping for paternity testings using practical cases.

去年，我们获得了100名中国人的DNA样本，并研究了DNA侧翼D1S8（MS32）和D7S21（MS31A）位点的三个多态性位点的等位基因频率。将中国人的单倍型频率与已报道的日本人和白种人的单倍型频率进行了比较。中国人的单倍型分布与日本人没有显着差异，但与白种人有显着差异。然后进行基于使用等位基因特异性 PCR 引物从总基因组 DNA 中选择性扩增单个等位基因的等位基因特异性 MVR-PCR。尽管MVR-PCR等位基因密码具有高度多态性，但可以通过点阵分析来分析内部结构的相似性。此外，不同的等位基因可以具有相关的侧翼单倍型，这可能是由于共享最近的共同祖先。当通过点矩阵分析产生对齐的 MS32 等位基因或 MS31A 等位基因组时，我们已经表明高加索人、非洲黑人和日本人有很强的倾向形成由大部分相同的片段组成的独特组。在这项研究中，我们发现中国等位基因通常与日本等位基因具有相同的基序，从而导致该组仅由日本和中国等位基因组成。因此，使用 MVR-PCR 等位基因代码和侧翼单倍型，我们可以证明中国等位基因与日本等位基因选择性相关。还对日本 DNA 样本进行了 D16S309 (MS205) 等位基因图谱分析。由于大多数等位基因的长度都很短，我们通常可以获得该位点的整个等位基因的MVR-PCR图谱。我们发现日本人的等位基因相当短，而且他们的内部结构与白人有些不同。我们还通过实际案例展示了 MVR-PCR 作图在亲子鉴定中的有用性。
