Abstract
DNA profiling has rapidly become a routine technique in forensic laboratories worldwide since its introduction in 1985. One of the PCR strategies that have been developed for forensic application is the dot-blot analysis of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) DQα Locus (Saiki et al, 1986; Westwood et al 1990), now redesignated as DQA1.
