ICMP 2.0 aims to redefine the scope of its identification work worldwide
and adopt MPS as key technology, founded in the new headquarters
The Hague facilities will be well suited to
adoption of new forensic DNA technologies
Bioinformatics and computational
infrastructure is well founded
Qiagen and ICMP have agreed to develop
a complete missing persons ID pipeline
The rationale for SNP analysis in forensics
Microhaplotype genotyping becomes
possible with the introduction of MPS

Microhaplotype genotyping becomes

Yale
Constructed a new MPS panel
dedicated to missing persons
identification consisting of multiple-
allele SNPs and microhaplotypes
A collaborative project that makes
use of the QIAseq MPS system:
originally developed for sensitivity
to low-level mutation sequences
Why use single nucleotide polymorphisms rather
than tried-and-tested STRs for missing persons ID?
Forensic MPS as it currently stands and the
added advantages of QIAseq chemistry
Criteria for building the ICMP missing persons ID panel
- moving away from binary markers

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms can provide complimentary data to STRs
SNPs in coding regions underlie a
large proportion of common genetic
variation
SNPs form the basis of forensic
trait-predictive tests of externally
visible characteristics (EVCs) and
much of the ancestry informative
markers in forensic ancestry tests

analysis to perform - in 2011 we opted to use an Affymetrix 6.0 SNP array

• We also decided to use more informative SNP-based markers:
• Tri-allelic SNPs (three possible nucleotide alleles per site = 6 genotypes)
• Microhaplotypes in realistically short sequence fragments

Microhaplotypes
Marker
selection
Not all microhaplotypes were sufficiently informative - most 2-SNP
loci gave tri-allelic patterns with similar power to these loci
• Selected 46 from 130 microhaplotypes that
have high haplotype Heterozygosity values in
most or all 1000 Genomes population groups (i.e.
seeking ‘universal’ informativeness)
• Reduced the size of some microhaplotypes and
traded a reasonable reduction of informativeness
for efficiency with degraded DNA

1411 Tri-allelic SNPs
Ranked average Heterozygosity amongst five 1000 Genomes
populations (American-East Asian-South Asian-European-African)
Yale
We were able to combine 1411 tri-allelic SNPs with high levels of average
heterozygosity (averaged across five 1000 Genomes population groups)
Only 1.5% of tri-allelic SNPs have a lower
average Heterozygosity than the 0.5 bi-allelic
SNP maximum value (these SNPs had skewed
allele frequencies amongst different populations)

• Approximately 7-10% of the tri-allelic sites in ICMP panel are actually segmental
duplications giving false three-allele patterns (often in one individual) - so these loci have
not been sufficiently well curated by 1000 Genomes at this stage and are now discarded
from the multiplex
In conclusion: One cautionary observation made during the optimisation of
this large panel for routine missing person identification
