Resumo
Na rotina da genética forense, o uso exclusivo dos marcadores STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) em situações que a amostra biológica apresenta-se degradada pode gerar um resultado final estatístico inconclusivo, tornando fundamental a análise de marcadores adicionais para a resolução do caso. Utilizado como método complementar, os polimorfismos InDels (inserção/deleção) têm mostrado grande potencial para superar as limitações dos marcadores tradicionais. A análise de regiões do cromossomo X também vem ganhando significativa importância nesses estudos, especialmente nos casos em que a análise dos autossômicos não é suficiente. Nessa perspectiva, este trabalho teve por objetivo geral caracterizar a população do estado de São Paulo para 32 polimorfismos de inserção/deleção no cromossomo X (32 X-InDels) e avaliar a utilidade desse multiplex na resolução de casos forenses. Para tanto, buscou-se identificar a diversidade genética desses polimorfismos nessa população, a segregação dos alelos entre os genitores (pai e mãe) para as suas respectivas filhas e a eficiência desse painel na amplificação de DNA extraído de amostras ósseas. Para identificar a diversidade genética, foram analisados os perfis genotípicos de 500 indivíduos não aparentados nascidos no estado de São Paulo. Todos os marcadores mostraram-se polimórficos para a população, sendo MID3701 o que apresentou maior diversidade e somente MID2637 se mostrou pouco informativo. O marcador MID1361 apresentou-se em desequilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg e uma variante alélica foi identificada em seu alelo curto. O painel demonstrou alta eficiência forense, confirmado pelo poder acumulado de discriminação (0,999999999993 em mulheres e 0,99999993 em homens) e pelo valor acumulado da chance média de exclusão (0,999996 em trios e 0,9995 em duos). No comparativo com outras populações, valores significativos da distancia genética foram obtidos, verificando-se que São Paulo está mais próximo à três departamentos colombianos e às populações européias. A proporção de ancestralidade identificada foi 41,8% para europeus, 31,6% para africanos e 26,6% para nativo-americanos. Na análise de segregação realizada em 101 trios, o padrão de transmissão esperado entre pai-mãe/filha foi o observado, o que confirma a baixa taxa de mutação desses marcadores. Por fim, os 32 X-InDels apresentaram as características necessárias para a análise de amostras biológicas em baixa concentração e/ou degradadas, mas algumas dificuldades na amplificação podem ser encontradas a depender das condições ambientais a que as amostras foram expostas. Conclui-se que o conhecimento acerca dos marcadores de inserção/deleção no cromossomo X pode ser ampliado, uma vez que na literatura ainda há pouco material disponível sobre o assunto; entretanto os dados deste trabalho já demonstram seu potencial como método alternativo para a análise de amostras forenses, pois foram identificados elevados valores de poder de discriminação e exclusão, baixa taxa de mutação e um elevado potencial de amplificação de amostras biológicas degradadas.
In forensic genetics routine, the exclusive use of STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) markers when the biological sample is degraded can generate an inconclusive final statistical result, making essential the analysis of additional markers for case resolution. Used as a complementary method, InDels (insertion/deletion) polymorphisms have shown great potential to overcome the limitations of traditional markers. Polymorphisms in the X chromosome is also gaining significant importance in these studies, especially in those cases in which the analysis of the autosomal markers is not enough. In this perspective, this study aimed to characterize the São Paulo state population for 32 X chromosome insertion/deletion polymorphisms (32 X-InDels) and to evaluate the utility of this multiplex in the resolution of forensic cases. Therefore, it was analyzed the genetic diversity of this population, the alleles segregation between the parents and their respective daughters, and the amplification efficiency of this panel in DNA extracted from human bones. To identify genetic diversity, the genotypic profiles of 500 unrelated individuals born in São Paulo state was analysed. All markers were polymorphic for the population, with MID3701 being the most diverse, and MID2637 the less informative. The MID1361 marker was in Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium and an allelic variant was identified in its short allele. The panel showed high forensic efficiency, confirmed by the accumulated power of discrimination (0.9999999999993 in females and 0.99999993 in males) and by the accumulated mean exclusion chance (0.999996 in trios and 0.99995 in duos). Comparing with other populations, significant values of genetic distance were obtained and São Paulo is closer to three Colombian departments and to European populations. The ethnic contributions identified 41.8% of Europeans, 31.6% of Africans and 26.6% of Native Americans admixture. In segregation analysis performed in 101 trios, the expected transmission pattern between parent/daughter was observed, which confirms the low mutation rate of these markers. Finally, the 32 X-InDels presented the necessary characteristics for the analysis of degraded biological samples, but some amplification difficulties can be found depending on the environmental conditions in which the samples were exposed. It can be concluded that knowledge about the X chromosome insertion/deletion markers can be expanded, because there is still little information available in the literature; meanwhile data from this work demonstrate its potential as an alternative method for the analysis of forensic samples.
