DNA profiling from teeth was used for the first time in Albania in 2022, for forensic purposes. The case has been resolved in collaboration with experts of the Institute of Scientific Police and academic staff of Albanian University. On April 3, 2022, some bones and a scull were revealed to surface after the locals have burnt some bushes, in Fushë Kuqe, Kurbin, meanwhile, on May 2015, a 16 years old boy has been declared missing from his family. The police were informed and investigations began for identification. A full DNA profile of the victim was yielded by an intact molar tooth present in the recovered mandibula. The putative mother has already submitted a DNA profile, which was stored in the database of the Institute of Scientific Police. The two profiles were analyzed and compared, and the results consisted in a high compatibility leading to identification. The aim of this study case was to evaluate for the first time in Albania DNA profiling from teeth and provide expertise in the field. In conclusion, genetic profiling from teeth resulted in an efficient method for forensic identification purposes opening new perspectives for our country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
