Feasibility study of Y-chromosome mini-STRs-based next-generation sequencing for non-invasive prenatal paternity testing
-
摘要: 目的 评价基于Y-染色体mini-STR的二代测序技术(NGS)通过检测孕妇血浆中胎儿遗传物质完成无创产前亲权鉴定的可行性。方法 从24位孕妇外周血中提取游离胎儿DNA(cffDNA),用Illumina NextSeq 500平台对cffDNA同时进行12个mini-STR基因座的NGS测序分型。cffDNA基因分型结果通过胎儿父亲基因型来验证。对每一组的分型结果计算亲权相关参数。结果 对父亲和出生后的婴儿采用常规的毛细管电泳法(CE)做亲子鉴定,证实了24对父亲和胎儿均具有亲子关系。其中13组男性胎儿的cffDNA所有等位基因均与父亲相同,而1组男性胎儿的cffDNA分型在DYS393出现与父亲不同的等位基因,证实为基因突变;10组女性胎儿的cffDNA均无等位基因检出。利用当地人群单倍型频率可以计算累积亲权指数(CPI)和亲权概率。13组无基因突变的男性胎儿的亲权概率为98.269 9%~99.882 8%,基因突变组的亲权概率为14.871 9%。结论 本研究初步证明了基于NGS的Y-染色体mini-STR用于无创产前亲权鉴定具有较高的准确性,可用于部分案件中在不损伤受害人和胎儿的前提下排除无关男性,并且可以将调查范围扩大到胎儿的所有男性生物学亲属。Abstract: Objectives To evaluate the feasibility of performing non-invasive prenatal paternity testing(NIPPT) by Y-chromosome mini-STR-based next-generation sequencing(NGS).Methods Plasma DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 24 pregnant women, and cell-free fetal DNA(cffDNA) genotyping at 12 Y-chromosome mini-STR loci was carried out on the Illumina NextSeq 500 system. The cffDNA genotyping result was validated by the paternal genotypes. The paternity testing parameters were calculated for each case.Results The paternity for all 24 family cases was validated by capillary electrophoresis(CE). No missing loci were detected in the 14 male cffDNA mini-STR genotypes by NGS. The alleles of cffDNA and paternal genomic DNA were matched in 13 cases, and a mismatched allele, considered as mutation, appeared at the DYS393 locus in a case. No allele was shown in the 10 female cffDNA. The combined paternity index(CPI) and probability of paternity were calculated according to the local haplotype distribution. The probability of paternity was 98.269 9%-99.882 8% for the cases without mutation, and 14.871 9% for the case with mutation.Conclusion Our study proved that Y-chromosome mini-STR could be used for NGS-based NIPPT with high accuracy, and could be potentially applied for familial searching, paternity exclusion in forensic and sex selection in medical applications.
