The 1998–1999 collaborative exercises and proficiency testing program on DNA typing of the Spanish and Portuguese Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GEP-ISFG)

During the past few years the DNA commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics has published a series of documents providing guidelines and recommendations concerning the application of DNA polymorphisms to the problems of human identification. This latest report addresses a relatively new area, namely Y-chromosome polymorphisms, with particular emphasis on short tandem repeats (STRs). This report addresses nomenclature, use of allelic ladders, population genetics and reporting methods.

“…Although GEDNAP is, by definition a German working group, the lack of such organisations in certain European countries in the past and the wish of laboratories in these countries to participate in such trials, led to the inclusion of nonGerman-speaking laboratories which has continued up to the present date. Other EDNAP working parties have followed the same lead set by GEDNAP (Gomez et al 1997;Gomez and Carracedo 2000).…”
