Evaluation of pyromark q48 autoprep with hirisplex-s in an italian population sample

If there is no match in the National DNA database, forensic phenotyping represents an opportunity to give a new impulse to criminal investigation. However, in most forensic laboratories the phenotypic analysis flow is limited to few samples per year and the costs of NGS methodologies, nowadays, could be a discriminating factor. In addition, in some criminal cases time is crucial and the laboratory is required to provide information as soon as possible. In this context, we decided to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of PyroMark Q48 Autoprep to obtain phenotypic data using HIrisPlex-S panel on 54 samples from people of Italian origin.
