Abstract

In 2019, based on the publication of Law No. 13,812/2019, the National Policy on the Search for Missing Persons was created in Brazil. In this context, on March 2, 2020 the Steering Committee of the Integrated Network of DNA Databases (RIBPG) created the Working Group on Genetic Identification of Missing Persons. In 2021, the first National Campaign for the Collection of DNA from Relatives of Missing Persons was launched. This action provided the collection of relatives of more than 1700 missing people throughout Brazil. Since the beginning of the work, the number of genetic profiles related to the search for missing persons has increased by 216 % in the National DNA Database. So far, RIBPG has already managed to solve 223 disappearances throughout Brazil.

DNA数据库作为改进巴西失踪人员搜索工作的工具

2019年，在第13812/2019号法律公布的基础上，巴西制定了国家失踪人员搜寻政策。在这种情况下，2020年3月2日，DNA数据库综合网络指导委员会成立了失踪人员基因鉴定工作组。2021年，启动了第一次全国失踪人员亲属DNA采集活动。这次行动收集了巴西各地1700多名失踪人员的亲属。自这项工作开始以来，国家DNA数据库中与寻找失踪人员有关的基因图谱数量增加了216%。到目前为止，RIBPG已经在巴西各地解决了223起失踪案件。
