Abstract excerpt

The 1956 mining disaster in Marcinelle, Belgium, claimed 262 lives, among them 14 victims who could not be identified at the time. Their remains were exhumed in 2021 for identification, including DNA testing. We report here on the successful genetic identification of one of these victims, achieved by matching against three distant relatives using the FORCE SNP panel. In addition to likelihood ratio (LR)...
