Usefulness of DNA Obtained from FFPE Tissue Sections Stained with Masson’s Trichrome in Forensic Identification: A Pilot Study
These results could be due to the large number of acids used in MT staining, which cause chemical modification and hydrolysis of DNA, affecting the success of PCR-based methods used subsequently. In conclusion, DNA obtained from MT-stained FFPE tissue sections may be highly degraded and should therefore be used with great caution in forensic settings.
