In a sociological study of people living in Turkey, 47 different ethnic groups are listed (Andrews, 1989). The present study aims to compare three of them -Sunni Turks, Laz Turks and Hemsinli- with each other.

The allele frequency data were compared with a turkish subpopulation from Adana area (southern Turkey) and a group of Turks living in Brussels (Belgium). The HumTHOI data showed a significant difference in the Black Sea region compared to the 3 other groups while the subpopulation from the eastern Anatolia showed significant differences in Hum VWA system.

The study aimed to determine whether Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) variable sequential repetition count could be an indicator that can be useful in diagnosing depression and anxiety. The beck depression inventory and beck anxiety inventory were applied to 102 individuals aged between 20-25 years. Oral epithelial cells and blood samples were collected for genetic analysis. DNA isolation of blood samples was performed, and the variable number of tandem repeat polymorphism was analyzed. The association between the beck depression and anxiety inventory results variable number of tandem repeat polymorphisms were evaluated statistically by the chi-square test or fisher’s exact test. While the results obtained proved a statistically significant relationship between Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) variable tandem repeat nu...

Bloodstains are frequently seen at the crime scene and can be easily detected due to their color and structure. Because blood and bloodstains can potentially be evidence of a crime, offenders often tend to clean or wash them to get rid of relevant evidence. Some researchers think that washed bloodstains cannot obtain enough quality DNA for DNA profiling. However, some studies have shown that bloodstains on a piece of fabric can be used for DNA profiling even after washing. This study, it is aimed to determine whether a sufficient amount of DNA can be obtained for DNA profiling used for forensic purposes from blood-stained nylon and cotton fabrics washed at different temperatures such as 40 °C, 60 °C and 90 °C. Results In this study, bloodstains were created on cotton and nylon fabrics in a representative crime scene. After washi...

In the early days, it was common practice for those involved in this work to extend their investigative knowledge into areas not directly concerned with medical matters. However forensic medical investigations cannot be entrusted in the hands of single investigators, but should rather be dealt with by cooperative groups of experts nowadays. This need was the major force for the establishment of the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences by a special article of the law (section 2547) as a training and research center in 1982. The Institute being the first and only institution giving master's and doctorate degrees in Forensic Sciences, has 3 major departments: 1) Medical Sciences Department, 2) Basic Sciences Department and 3) Social Sciences Department.
