In recent years&#44; these types of cases have been of great social interest&#46; Resolving these types of cases involves two possible scenarios&#46; In one&#44; people who are alive &#40;progenitor&#91;s&#93;

in the family reunification studies&#46; The lack of coordination between the various laboratories and the fact that there is not a single shared database for the matching studies has resulted in part of the genetic information generated in the various laboratories not being submitted for comparison&#44; with the subsequent loss of information&#46; The Ministry of Justice has made a commitment to the various victims associations to implement certain measures to respond to the victims&#8217; demands and needs&#46; Thus Ministerial Order JUS&#47;2146&#47;2012 of 1 October set forth a procedure whereby all of the genetic profiles that had thus far been generated by the various state laboratories &#40;both public and private&#41;

These circumstances make it necessary for laboratories to use validated methods and to be certified for conducting these types of analyses&#44; in accordance with standard UNE-EN ISO&#47;IEC 17025&#44; as recommended by the National Commission for the Forensic Use of DNA &#40;CNUFADN&#41; in the document &#8220;<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Recommendations on genetic identification studies in cases of irregular adoptions and abductions of newborns</span>&#8221;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> The reproducibility of the results that have been issued as far as possible&#44;

such as forensic or criminal anthropology&#46; These studies provide valuable information on whether there are bone remains&#44; their condition&#44; the number of individuals and their estimated age&#46;
