Relationship between DNA Degradation and Postmortem Interval of Corrupt Corpse

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between DNA degradation and postmortem interval of corrupt corpse. Methods By determining the marrow DNA content with histochemical technique and image analysis. Results The content of marrow DNA decreased gradually with prolongation of postmortem interval, and it evencould be detected till 14 days after death. Conclusion There was a linear relationship between the degradation rate of the nuclear DNA and postmortem interval.

Key words: corrupt corpse, DNA degradation, marrow of breast bone, postmortem interval
