Ethical, legal and social implications of forensic molecular phenotyping in South Africa.

Developing world bioethics - 1 Jun 2018

Slabbert Nandi, Heathfield Laura Jane

Abstract excerpt

Conventional forensic DNA analysis involves a matching principle, which compares DNA profiles from evidential samples to those from reference samples of known origin. In casework, however, the accessibility to a reference sample is not guaranteed which limits the use of DNA as an investigative tool. This has led to the development of phenotype prediction, which uses SNP analysis to estimate the physical...
