Abstract
In the course of an investigation to identify a burns-related death victim a particular case of paternity test was introduced. In a locality near Spoleto (Umbria), an oil mill burned down causing the death of four men. One of them was identified comparing his genetic profile with those of his relatives: a daughter and a brother. The wife was not available for the analysis. Data obtained with Identifiler showed a genetic compatibility between the man and his daughter. By chance we observed that a genetic compatibility was also evident between the daughter and the other man analyzed, the uncle. To clarify this situation we implemented the panel of markers analyzed, adding PowerPlex 16, 6 miniSTRs (NC01 and NC02) and 5 STRs of X chromosome.
