Developmental Validation of a MPS Workflow with a PCR-Based Short Amplicon Whole Mitochondrial Genome Panel

Abstract: For the adoption of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) systems by forensic laboratories, validation studies on specific workflows are needed to support the feasibility of implementation and the reliability of the data they produce. As such, the whole mitochondrial genome sequencing methodology—Precision ID mtDNA Whole Genome Panel, Ion Chef, Ion S5, and Converge—has been subjected to a variety of developmental validation studies. These validation studies were completed in accordance with the Scientific Workin… Show more

“…The technology has meanwhile matured and provides a comparably cost-effective and less labor-intensive solution compared to Sanger-based techniques, particularly when many samples or full mitogenomes are analyzed [46]. The forensic application of mitogenome MPS, which expanded the targeted portion from the CR to the entire mitogenome, meanwhile increased the abundance of observed and reported NUMTs (e.g., [42,[47][48][49]. This is in part due to the enhanced sensitivity gained with MPS, which allows for the detection of low frequency variants in mtDNA sequence alignments, such as those originating from NUMT reads.…”

“…Yet, each of them has certain properties that help with its diagnosis when assessing threshold-based variant calls. NUMTs are likely to be observed at known NUMT locations [29,30,42,[47][48][49]56], whereas point heteroplasmyparticularly in the codR - [57][58][59][60][61] and stochastic error occur at random locations across the mitogenome [62][63][64]. Furthermore, point heteroplasmy is not observed in a majority of mitogenome haplotypes when applying variant detection thresholds realistic to forensic samples, i.e., a minimum of 5-10% [57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…One major issue is that a mitochondrial DNA haplotype may be comprised of potentially 100 s of amplicons. These amplicons may overlap to varying degrees and may have varied PCR efficiencies [ 17 ]. In contrast, continuous methods based on massively parallel sequencing (MPS) data need to balance purely quantitative data (variant read-counts) against the linkage (and resultant linkage disequilibrium, LD) inherent to the mitochondrial genome (e.g., as per [ 18 ]).…”
