CHAPTER SIX – Morphological analysis the bone structures
SUMMARY: In the case of the thigh bone of skeleton II/52_3, microscopic morphological surveys revealed that there is no intact bone structure (Figure 20 C and D); thus, the DNA sample from it is not suitable for A-STR marker analyses, even in rare cases where short marker alleles may have occurred. The longer allele which sometimes appears is probably a faulty PCR result. In Béla Ill ’s case, the femurs bone structure is better preserved, but here again the issue arises of faulty PCR products created during the amplification of DNA samples of some alleles. no
