Heteroplasmy in mtDNA and the weight of evidence in forensic mtDNA analysis: a case report.

International journal of legal medicine - 1 Jan 2001

Salas A, Lareu M V, Carracedo A

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing has been validated as a useful tool for forensic analysis. However, there are several aspects of the analysis which need to be considered in order to evaluate the value of the evidence. One of these aspects is related to heteroplasmy which is the state when tw...
