Guidance: Allele frequency databases and reporting for DNA profiling (FSR-GUI-0012)
Safety Classified by Officially
The regulator’s DNA specialist group has produced allele frequency databases and reporting guidance for DNA profiling.
This file may not be suitable for users of assistive technology.
This document gives practical advice to professionals on how to use population databases that show how common certain DNA characteristics (alleles) are. It explains how these databases should be used when analysing autosomal DNA (short tandem repeat) results in forensic cases and how to clearly report the strength of the evidence that comes from them.
This document replaces the previously published FSR-G-213: Allele Frequency Databases and reporting guidance for the DNA (short tandem repeat) profiling.
We are aware of accessibility issues with these publications. We are working to fix these.
