Polymorphism
A DNA polymorphism is a sequence difference compared to a reference standard that is present in at least 1–2% of a population. Polymorphisms can be single bases or
thousands of bases. Polymorphisms may or may not have phenotypic
effects.

Polymorphic DNA Sequences
Polymorphisms are found throughout the genome.
If the location of a polymorphic sequence is known, it can serve as a landmark or marker for locating other genes or genetics regions.
Each polymorphic marker has different versions or alleles.

STR Nomenclature
The International Society for Forensic Genetics recommended nomenclature for STR loci in 1997: STRs within genes are designated according to the gene name
(no phenotypic effect with respect to these genes): TH01 is in intron 1 of the human tyrosine hydroxylase gene on
chromosome 11 Non–gene associated STRs are designated by the D#S#
system: D stands for DNA The following number designates the chromosome where the STR
is located (1-22, X or Y). S refers to a unique segment, followed by a number registered in
the International Genome Database (GDB).
Gender Identification:Amelogenin Locus, HUMAMEL
The amelogenin locus is not an STR (but along with STR).
The HUMAMEL gene codes for amelogenin-like protein. located on the X (Xp22.1–22.3) and Y chromosomes required for embryonic development and tooth maturation
Polymorphism is located in the second intron of the amelogenin gene: X allele = 212 bp Y allele = 218 bp (longer)

Identity testing by STR-PCR
Genetic concordance: is a term used where all locus genotypes (alleles) from two sources are the same. Concordance is interpreted as
inclusion of a single individual as the donor of both genotypes.
Two samples are considered different if at least one locus genotype differs (exclusion).
A matching genotype is not necessarily an absolute determination of identity of an individual.A matching genotype is not necessarily an absolute determination of identity of an individual.

Child and parent are not necessarily in complete Genetic concordance Mutational events may generate a
new allele in the offspring, and this difference may not rule out paternity.

Short Tandem Repeat Polymorphisms: Y-STR
The Y chromosome is inherited in a block without recombination (Y chromosome cannot exchange information)
STR on the Y chromosome are inherited paternally as a haplotype. Series of linked alleles always inherited together Thus, marker alleles on the Y chromosome are inherited from
generation to generation in a single block. Y haplotypes are used for exclusion and paternal
lineage analysis. Except for rare mutation events, every male member of a
family (brothers, uncles, cousins, and grandparents) will have the same Y-chromosome haplotype.

Engraftment Testing Using DNA Polymorphisms
Allogeneic donor and recipient immune compatibility is tested prior to the transplant by HLA typing.
Sequence polymorphisms (alleles) in the HLA locus are compared with those of the recipient to determine which donor would be most tolerated by the recipient immune system.
Donors may be known or related to the patient or anonymous unrelated contributors (matched unrelated donor).
Recipient receives his or her own
purged cells
Recipient receives donor cells
Recipient receives donor cells
A recipient with donor marrow is a chimera.A recipient with donor marrow is a chimera.
Chimerism Testing Using STR
There are two parts to chimerism testing: pretransplant informative analysis and post-transplant engraftment analysis donor cells can be monitored by following donor

Chimerism Testing Using STR:Informative Analysis
STR are scanned to find informative loci (donor alleles differ from recipient alleles). Noninformative loci: the donor and the recipient have the
same alleles. Donor-informative loci: donor and recipient share one allele,
and the donor has a unique allele. Recipient informative loci: the unique allele is in the recipient
Full chimerism: only the donor alleles are detected in the recipient
Mixed chimerism: a mixture of donor and recipient alleles are present
Graft failure: only recipient alleles are detectable

Chimerism Analysis of Cellular Subsets
Cell subsets (T cells, granulocytes, NK cells, etc.) engraft with different kinetics.
Analysis of cellular subsets provides a more detailed description of the engrafting cell population.
Analysis of cellular subsets also increases the sensitivity of the engraftment assay.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP)
Single-nucleotide differences between DNA sequences.
One SNP occurs approximately every 1,250 base pairs in human DNA.
SNPs are detected by sequencing, melt curve analysis, or other methods.
99% have no biological effect;60,000 are within genes.

SNP Haplotypes
SNPs are inherited in blocks or haplotypes. Sections of DNA along
chromosomes can be inherited as a unit or block of sequence
No recombination occurs within the block.
All the SNPs on that block comprise a haplotype.
SNPs can be used for mapping genes, human identification, chimerism analysis, and many other applications.
