THE MATCH REPORTTo get to step 5 of figure 1- Comparison and Interpretation, the profile above needstranslating into an alphanumeric code. This code states the number of repeats presentat each locus and it is this data that is entered into the database, as shown below:(please note this is not linked to the above image of a DNA profile and is a fictitious profile).Reference: FP/01/09/csVWA TH01 D21S11 FGA D8S1179 D3S1358 D18S51 amelogenin16 20 9 93 30 31,2 19 22 14 15 16 17 13 14 X XTPOX CSF1P0 D13S317 D7S820 D5S818 D16S539 D2S1338 D19S43312 12 11 10 23 23 13 15,2Penta A Penta E FES F13A1 F13B SE33 CD4 GABAFigure 3: DNA Profile for entry in a DNA DatabaseNormally, the database will then search this profile entered against all profiles alreadypresent and will store the profile for future searches, unless there are other specificrequirements.•what do the results mean?1. Exclusion (Non-match)The DNA profile from the known individual (reference sample from a victim, otherwiseknown as an elimination sample or suspect) does not match the DNA profile generatedfrom the crime scene evidence.2. Inclusion (Match)The DNA profile from the known individuals (reference samples from victim orsuspect) matches the DNA profile obtained from the crime scene evidence. The twoprofiles are consistent with originating from the same source.PAGE 34THE MATCH REPORT
