As part of the disaster victim identification (DVI) response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires disaster, a number of scientific disciplines contributed to the human identification process--forensic pathology, anthropology and odontology, as well as fingerprinting and DNA profiling. The DNA laboratory received 182 post-mortem (PM) samples from 120 DVI cases and 236 reference samples corresponding to 163 missing persons (and two non-DVI cases). DNA analysis yielded full DNA profiles for 102 DVI cases and 190 ante-mortem (AM) samples (relating to all 163 missing persons), respectively. Subsequent comparison of DNA profiles, through direct and kinship matching, resulted in the submission of 76 DNA reports to the DVI Reconciliation Centre which assisted in the identification of 67 deceased. This paper describes the contribution of DNA analysis towards the DVI response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires disaster.
作为对 2009 年维多利亚丛林大火灾难的灾难受害者识别 (DVI) 响应的一部分,许多科学学科为人类识别过程做出了贡献——法医学、人类学和牙科学,以及指纹识别和 DNA 分析。DNA 实验室从 120 个 DVI 案例中的 182 个死后 (PM) 样本和 236 个对应于 163 个失踪人员(和两个非 DVI 案例)的参考样本中获得了 DNA 分析结果。DNA 分析分别为 102 个 DVI 案例和 190 个生前 (AM) 样本(涉及所有 163 个失踪人员)生成了完整的 DNA 图谱。随后通过直接和亲属匹配对 DNA 图谱进行比较,向 DVI 协调中心提交了 76 份 DNA 报告,该报告协助确认了 67 名死者。本文描述了 DNA 分析对 2009 年维多利亚丛林大火灾难的 DVI 响应的贡献。
