Patients undergoing bone marrow transplant, and with it receive a "profile" of the DNA donor, which may further complicate their lives greatly, for example, lead to the dock.
At the meeting discussed a real case of life that occurred in Alaska. Obtained from the sperm DNA sample led law enforcement officers to the suspect in sexual assault, but the man at the time of the attack was in prison, then the network - could not commit this crime.
Further testing showed - no error, samples of the prisoner and the perpetrator are identical.
The investigation revealed that the man sitting in prison, received bone marrow from another man, and - his brother - whose DNA profile as a result and ended up in the blood.
Scientists noted that while such cases - a rarity, but with a DNA database and an increase in the number of transplants - the risk of errors of justice will rise.
Until recently, bone marrow transplant took place with the destruction of his own patient's brain in such cases, the blood contains DNA profile only donor.
But in recent years it has become possible to save part of the patient's bone marrow, so that his blood may contain a mixed DNA profile.
To get the "correct" model should take it twice - from the blood and breath. But until it's too expensive and time consuming.
Therefore, at present offer of genetics to notify potential donors and recipients of a low risk of being drawn into trouble.
Learn about how the offender is determined by the fingerprint of the brain , and a universal database of DNA, which will save the world from terrorists.
