Typing of 24 mtDNA SNPs in a Chinese Population Using SNaPshot Minisequencing

摘要

Three SNaPshot multiplex assays were developed to test 23 coding region single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) and one control region SNP outside hypervariable regions(HVR)Ⅰand Ⅱ,which was aimed at increasing the discrimination power of the mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) typing in forensic casework,and confirming haplogroup assignments of mtDNA profiles in both human population studies and medical research.The selected SNPs targeted the East Asian phylogeny.These multiplex assays were validated by comparing with t...
