- Abstract
The article focuses on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing for the identification of skeletonized remains. It discusses the case of a reported missing girl handled by the Juvenile Aid Division (JAD), the remains of an unknown white female handled by the police and the postmortem examination using the DNA testing to identify the remains. It describes the method used for DNA extraction including extraction from the tooth, extraction from the blood through InstaGene DNA Purification Matrix, testing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the determination of histocompatibility complex DQ alpha chain (HLA DQA) type with the use of HLA DQA Forensic DNA Amplification and Typing Kit.
