Abstract The International Society for Forensic Haemogenetics (ISFH) has previously published in this journal its recommendations for the use of DNA polymorphisms in forensic science. However, these recommendations were applicable to DNA polymorphisms in general but addressed primarily to DNA polymorphisms detected by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) analysis. With the advent of the application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and its anticipated impact on identity testing, the DNA Commission of the ISFH met in December 1991 to produce an addendum guideline concerning the application of PCR-based technologies.
