Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is prone to failure because DNA is frequently degraded by various environmental factors. Increasing the number of starting templates may improve success in STR profiling. One approach to increase the number of DNA templates is whole genome amplification (WGA); however, few studies have demonstrated that WGA can be used on degraded DNA samples in forensics. Therefore, we performed a PCR-based WGA termed “modified improved primer extension preamplification” (mIPEP) prior to STR analysis of degraded DNA, since this method was less affected by DNA quantity and quality than other approaches are.Saliva from four volunteers was dried onto filter papers. These samples were irradiated with UVA light (365 nm) for 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. The mIPEP method was initiated using 5, 0.5, and 0.05 ng of DNA after DNA extraction. Following mIPEP, STR analysis was performed using the AmpFlSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit. This study was approved by the ethics committee at Tokyo Women’s Medical University.The number of detectable STR loci in 0.05 ng DNA sample was greater in those prepared by mIPEP than those prepared without mIPEP, when no radiation was applied. After 3 days of irradiation, the number of detectable STR loci in 0.5 ng DNA sample was smaller in those treated with mIPEP than in samples without mIPEP. There was no significant difference between the number of detectable STR loci with and without mIPEP after 7 and 14 days of irradiation. However, after 30 days of irradiation, the number of detectable STR loci in 5 ng DNA samples prepared with mIPEP was greater than in those without mIPEP. Hence, mIPEP was not necessary for STR loci detection in moderately degraded samples, but it did improve the success of STR profiling in severely degraded samples.
