OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for genetic characterization of one victim extensively burned by fire.DESIGN: Case report.CASE REPORT: DNA was extracted from blood of the cardiac chamber, and 15 different loci (D1S80, ApoB, D17S30, D3S1744, D18S849, D12S1090, FGA, D7S820, D1S533, D9S304, HUMCSF1PO, HUMTPOX, HUMTHO1, amelogenin and HLA-DQA1) were analyzed using the PCR technique.

Results from all loci typing of the corpse Railing Hardware were then compared to that of his alleged biological parents, revealing a genetic compatibility.
