Özet
Background/aim: Peripheral blood DNA profiles are often used in forensic identification and paternity investigations. Currently, because of the increasing number of patients who undergo transplantation, determining the history of transplantation has gained importance in forensic cases. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of genetic chimerism analysis of blood, hair follicle, and buccal swab samples for the forensic identification of transplant patients.
