This study reports the evaluation of the STR locus D1S1171 (GDB: 312934) for forensic purposes, which was investigated by PCR amplification and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 141 unrelated Austrians. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were observed. The mean exclusion chance (MEC) was 0.677, the discriminating power (DP) was 0.951 and the observed heterozygosity rate was 0.853. An allelic ladder consisting of 10 sequenced alleles (96-132 bp) was constructed. Sequence analysis revealed a GAAA repeat motif. According to the number of tetranucleotide repeats the smallest allele was designated 9 and the largest allele 18.
8679 post mortem dissections have been performed in the Institute during the rescent 25 years; 563 of them have been cases of poisoning (=6.5% of totality). They were grouped for the years 1950--1965 and 1966--1975. Suicidal poisoning showed an increasing, poisoning in children a decreasing tendency during the last 25 years. Suicides were mainly performed with hypnotics. Carbon monoxide poisoning dominated in the group of accidental poisoning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
