[Restriction fragment study (RFLP) of DNA polymorphism in criminology: quantitative and qualitative analyses beginning with dried blood and semen on various supports].
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) purified from various forensic samples was characterized by RFLP (Restriction Fragments Length Polymorphism). DNA isolated from dried bloodstains and dried semen stains was digested with restriction endonucleases (HinfI, PvuII, TaqI) and fractionated by electrophoresis on 0.7% agarose gels. After transfer to a filter, DNA was hybridized with different radioactively labeled recombinant probes: with HinfI, G3, MS1, MS8, MS31, MS43, cloned from 33.6 and 33.15 Jeffreys probes, with PvuII 3'HVR, with TaqI MR24/1. This probes recognize polymorphic DNA regions, so variation between individuals at fundamental level of their DNA can be used to discriminate them. Therefore, pattern of RFLP detected by this test was used to determine the probable identity of different samples. DNA was isolated and detected by Southern blot from since 50 microliters dried bloodstains (HinfI, G3, MS1, MS31), from various specimen bloodstains and from dried semen stains. Highly variable minisatellites cloned from Jeffreys probes took more satisfaction for sensitivity than others. However, DNA polymorphism analysis can be used with caution because method limits can be perturbed interpretation of results.
