In preparation for the application of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis methods to casework, validation studies were performed at the Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency (IMCFSA). They encompassed the following areas: standard specimens, sample consistency, reproducibility, mixed specimens, environmental insults, minimum sample requirements, non-probative casework, repetitive sizing accuracy, precision and match criteria analysis, and population studies including K562 data analysis. All studies yielded results as expected, were consistent with those previously reported by other laboratories, and formed a strong foundation on which to base future casework analysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D001801 Blood Stains Antigenic characteristics and DNA fingerprint patterns identified from blood stains. Their primary value is in criminal cases. Blood Stain,Stain, Blood,Stains, Blood
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine). DNA, Double-Stranded,Deoxyribonucleic Acid,ds-DNA,DNA, Double Stranded,Double-Stranded DNA,ds DNA

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012661 Semen The thick, yellowish-white, viscid fluid secretion of male reproductive organs discharged upon ejaculation. In addition to reproductive organ secretions, it contains SPERMATOZOA and their nutrient plasma. Seminal Plasma,Plasma, Seminal
D014626 Vaginal Smears Collection of pooled secretions of the posterior vaginal fornix for cytologic examination. Cervical Smears,Cervical Smear,Smear, Cervical,Smear, Vaginal,Smears, Cervical,Smears, Vaginal,Vaginal Smear
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D016172 DNA Fingerprinting A technique for identifying individuals of a species that is based on the uniqueness of their DNA sequence. Uniqueness is determined by identifying which combination of allelic variations occur in the individual at a statistically relevant number of different loci. In forensic studies, RESTRICTION FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM of multiple, highly polymorphic VNTR LOCI or MICROSATELLITE REPEAT loci are analyzed. The number of loci used for the profile depends on the ALLELE FREQUENCY in the population.
