Abstract
Abstract
According to Mendel’s law of genetic separation, there must be a certain blood relationship between members of the same family, and two individuals with blood relations must have the following three situations, that is, there are two homologous genes (I denotes), one homologous gene (T denotes), and no homologous genes (O denotes), which is the ITO index for calculating the blood relationship between two individuals. The AGGU Expressmarker 22 kit, ABI 3500 genetic analyzer, and GeneMapper ID-X v1.5 software were used to statistically analyze the ITO index of the gene locus of 5 kinds of samples, 28 pairs of monozygotic twins (MT), 4,000 pairs of parent–offspring (PO), 392 pairs of full sibling (FS), 138 pairs of half-siblings (HS) (including grandchildren, uncles, and nephews) and 3,500 pairs of unrelated individuals (UI). Observing the median distribution of ITO index found that from MT, PO, FS, HS to UI, the more distant the kinship, the smaller the ITO index. Full sibling index (FSI)/half-sibling index (HSI) ≥ 1 can be used as the FS discriminant standard, FSI/HSI < 1 can be used as the HS discriminant standard. According to the distance of kinship, from the direction of MT, PO, FS, HS, and UI, the proportion of the maximum ITO index of the same type of sample in the true kinship index item showed a decreasing trend. ITO index is an important statistical means to identify the kinship between two individuals, according to which the ITO index can accurately determine the kinship between individuals, which has high application value. MT index is not 0 to identify relatives as MT, PO index is an important indicator to distinguish between relatives as PO and FS. The critical values of ITO index discriminant values for UI and HS need to be further studied.
