Observation of Sex Chromatin in Exhumed Bones, Evaluation of their Diagnosis Value

Observation of sexual chromatin has shown to be very helpful in gender forensic diagnosis. In the present study we analyzed the diagnosis performance of the method in, non-treated or treated with conventional bone techniques, exhumed bone pieces. We used long bones of male and female individuals, th...
