DNA typing of short tandem repeat (STR) loci with automated real-time analysis of the fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products has given forensic DNA analysis a new dimension. In the present work, the ALF DNA sequencer was evaluated for automated size determination of tetra-nucleotide STRs at high speed. Short gel plates, with a well-to-laser distance of 10 cm, allowed for the analysis of four STR loci (HUMvWF, HUMTH01, D21S11 and HPRT) in one gel lane in less than 75 min. Allele size determination was done with two external allelic ladders for each locus. Lane-to-lane variations were overcome by the inclusion in each lane of two fluorescent PCR products of constant size (123 and 375 bp) that migrated below and above the multiplex of the four STR loci. The accuracy of sizing and allele detection within and between different gels was high (99.89%) for all four STR systems investigated and the gels could be reloaded without a decrease in accuracy of the allele size estimation. This way, the throughput of the system was increased, which is of interest for linkage studies, gene mapping, and population diversity studies.

A protocol for simultaneous amplification of the tetrameric STR loci HUMVWA, HUMTH01, D21S11 and HPRT has been developed in this study. Fluorescent amplified alleles were detected by laser scanning on the ALF DNA sequencer, and identified with locus specific allelic ladders. A sequencing survey of these STR loci was performed in 40 selected individuals from three major ethnic groups and confirmed the data reported previously. At the D21S11 locus, a new allele of 207 bp, was found in a Belgian Caucasian individual and designated as allele 25.2. Sequence analysis of this allele revealed that it contained a 14 bp deletion of (TCTA)3 TA at the beginning of the constant region. A nonconsensus allele of 245 bp, described and designated as allele 33.2.3(2x) by Brinkmann et al. (1996), was identified in an individual of central African origin. In addition, three new sequence variants of the allele 29, 30 and 32 were observed at D21S11.

Abstract DNA typing of four tetrameric repeat loci (HUMVWA, HUMTH0I, D21SII and HPRT) was carried out in a Chinese Han population from Shanghai (East China) and one from Guangzhou (South-East China) using a quadruplex PCR amplification and detection of the fluorescent-labeled alleles on the ALF DNA sequencer. All loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium except for D21S11 in the Guangzhou population. A test for population differentiation showed no statistical difference in the allele frequency distribution between the two populations. Comparison of the allele frequency data with other Chinese Han populations from North and South-West China for the STR loci HUMVWA and HUMTH01 revealed heterogeneity between Northern Chinese Han and Southern Chinese Han, which is in accordance with previous studies on the basis of protein markers.
