Description
Summary:Forensic genetics has shown that large tests are not allied to the identification process, so this work of human identification knows the DNA profile in cases of identification, carried out at the Instituto Genética Forense in the state of Pernambuco. It is a descriptive research, with a detailed aprroach, which fins and evoluates variables without manipulation as situations, from existing conditions. Secondary data extracted from exam sheets of the Instituto de Genética Forense Eduardo Campos (IGFEC) from January to December 2021 were consulted. The results showed a total of 678 cases of human identification, most of them were in the backlog for further analysis, generating 2.121 genetic samples, part of the reference type made in live (14,71%), part of the questioned type (41, 73%) performed on cadavers, the latter mainly represented by blood, muscle, bone and teeth, and part of the samples related to the retest (43,56%). In 39,93% of the samples, the methodology regarding DNA extraction was not informed in the spreadsheet. Among those informed, the FTA card and automated platforms were the most prevalent. It was concluded that the celerity of the analysis of the exams carried out in the live and in the dead is benefited from the increasing technological development and the qualification of forensic laboratories.
