Genetic analysis of the putative remains of general Władysław Sikorski

摘要: The paper presents results of genetic identification studies carried out in material collected during exhumation the putative body general Wladyslaw Sikorski, buried a sarcophagus Saint Leonard's crypt Wawel Cathedral. analysis STR-type autosomal markers, Y-STR markers and sequences HVI HVII regions mitochondrial DNA samples for analysis--fragments thigh bone tooth--yielded full set results. same mtDNA profile was also determined hair revealed on underpants shirt secured from studied body. matched characteristic female relative through maternal line Sikorski. obtained evidence supports hypothesis that is An additional position SNP rs12913832 located HERC2 gene presence genotype C/C, which suggests Sikorski had light (most probably blue) eyes.
