Article Synopsis
- Current human identity testing in fields like forensics and transplantation primarily uses microsatellite amplification and capillary electrophoresis, but a newer method called haplotype counting with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) shows promise.
- The study validated seven additional polymorphic loci and sequenced DNA from 45 individuals to analyze haplotypes, heterozygosity, and polymorphic information, while creating a multiplex PCR to amplify five loci at once.
- In initial tests on leukemic patients post-bone marrow transplantation, the haplotype counting method detected recipient DNA significantly earlier than traditional methods, suggesting its potential for improved detection in medical and forensic applications.
