Abstract
L'identification d'un défunt repose sur l'établissement d'un lien entre cette personne et des informations de référence. Dans ce contexte, l'ADN permet d'exploiter des échantillons provenant du défunt lui-même (références personnelles) ou de parents proches du défunt (références familiales). L'analyse de 132 identifications génétiques réalisées en Suisse entre 2003 et 2007 montre que les références familiales sont les plus utilisées. Des recommandations sont faites afin d'optimiser la procédure d'identification génétique. Il est notamment conseillé de favoriser les référentiels personnels qui ont été prélevés sur le défunt de son vivant. Lorsque cela n'est pas possible, il est recommandé d'utiliser plusieurs échantillons de référence afin de minimiser le risque de lien fortuit.
Identification of a deceased person consists in connecting this person with reference data. Within this context, DNA analyses allow to use samples coming from the deceased himself (personal reference) or from persons closely related to the deceased (familial reference). The analysis of 132 genetic identifications performed between 2003 and 2007 in Switzerland illustrates that familial references are predominantly used. Recommendations are presented to optimize the genetic identification process. In particular, personal references collected on the deceased when alive should be preferred. When this is not possible, several reference samples should be analysed in order to minimize the probability of a fortuitous connection.
