DNA typing of 8 recently described STRs on the Y chromosome was carried out by means of 2 multiplex amplification reactions for 134 unrelated males from Cantabria, a region in northern Spain. Multiplex 1 included loci DYS460 (GATA A7.1), GATA A10, GATA H4 and DYS439; multiplex 2 included DYS461 (GATA A7.2), GATA C4, DYS437 and DYS438. Haplotype diversity was found to be 99.36%, similar to that obtained with the standard 9-STR set ("minimal haplotype") of the European Y-user group (99.35%). The 13-locus haplotype resulting from the combination of the standard minimal haplotype and the 4-locus multiplex 1 showed a 99.89% diversity. Further inclusion of the 4 loci in multiplex 2 resulted in a haplotype diversity of 99.93%. The combination of the "minimal haplotype" and the multiplex 1 in the present study may be an efficient way of increasing the power of discrimination in forensic cases.

The YFiler Platinum Casework PCR Amplification Kit is a 6-dye multiplex assay that simultaneously amplifies a set of 38 male-specific, Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat (YSTR) markers (DYS576, DYS389I, DYS635, DYS389II, DYS627, DYS549, DYS593, DYS645, DYS460, DYS458, DYS19, YGATAH4, DYS448, DYS391, DYS557, DYS522, DYS456, DYS390, DYS438, DYS392, DYS518, DYS444, DYS533, DYS570, DYS437, DYS385, DYS449, DYS643, DYS596, DYS393, DYS439, DYS481, DYF387S1, DYS527, DYS447), three insertion/deletion polymorphic markers (Yindels: rs771783753, rs759551978, rs199815934), and an internal quality control (IQC) system. When compared to the YFiler Platinum PCR Amplification kit for database samples, YFiler Platinum Casework kit was developed to include an improved Primer Mix incorporating a brighter TED dye, an updated internal quality control system, better resolution of large DNA fragments in Applied Biosystems POP-4 Polymer, and reduced female DNA cross-reactivity. Here, we report the results of the developmental validation study which followed the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) guidelines and includes data for PCR-based studies, sensitivity, species specificity, stability, precision, reproducibility and repeatability, population concordance, stutter, DNA mixtures, and performance on mock casework samples.

Unlabelled: A total of 2 548 unrelated healthy father-son pairs from a Northern Han Chinese population were genotyped at 41 Y chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STRs) including DYS19, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS444, DYS447, DYS448, DYS449, DYS456, DYS458, DYS460, DYS481, DYS518, DYS522, DYS549, DYS533, DYS557, DYS570, DYS576, DYS593, DYS596, DYS627, DYS635, DYS643, DYS645, Y-GATA-H4, DYF387S1a/b, DYF404S1a/b, DYS385a/b, and DYS527a/b. In 2 548 father samples, 2 387 unique haplotypes were detected with the haplotype diversity and discrimination capacity values of 0.999 956 608 and 0.

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have been widely used in forensic genetics, and accurate knowledge of mutation rates at Y-STR loci is essential in kinship analysis. The main aim of this study was to estimate Y-STR mutation rates in Korean males. To obtain locus-specific mutations and haplotypes at 23 Y-STRs, we analyzed samples from 620 Korean father-son pairs.
