Abstract
The priorities for mass disaster victim identification are rapid investigation turn-around time and low cost. We describe a DNA typing procedure to selectively identify members of Asian populations by a real-time PCR method using polymorphisms of the α2 chain of the type I collagen gene ( COL1A2) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Among the 50 members of the Asian population included in the present study, 37 harbored a deleted allele in intron 33 of COL1A2 (26822–26823del) or the 10400C > T substitution mutation in mtDNA to give a probability of 0.740 for these SNPs in the Asian population.
