Epigenetic markers based on methylation values at CpG sites are valuable for accurate age prediction and have become essential in forensic science, supporting criminal investigations and human identification. The present study identified 12 CpG sites from a collection of 476,366 CpG sites based on the following criteria: (a) CpG sites were retained if the Pearson correlation coefficient between the methylation values and the chronological age of the individual is greater than 0.85, and (b) if the mutual correlation coefficient between a pair of selected CpG sites is greater than 0.15, only one of them is retained. The identified CpG sites are associated with genes FHL2, ELOVL2, TRIM59, PCDHB1, KLF14, C1orf132, ACSS3, and CCDC102B. To ensure that the predictive accuracy is intrinsic to the selected CpG sites and not model dependent, the identified CpG sites were passed to three different Neural network models. All models achieved comparable accuracy across diverse populations, genders, and health conditions. The model's accuracy and reliability were validated through age predictions on independent datasets. By utilizing a minimal set of CpG sites, this approach offers a robust and efficient solution for forensic age estimation, significantly enhancing the precision and reliability of forensic investigations.</p>","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the case of FDP in an 8-year-old child who presented with coagulation disorders secondary to the unknowing administration of Acenocoumarin.

Biological tests showed deficiencies of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, raising suspicion of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) use. Toxicological tests revealed the presence of Acenocoumarin in the child's blood three times, at levels of 0.15 mg/L; 0.06 mg/L and 0.43 mg/L. The biological abnormalities corrected spontaneously after the child was hospitalized.

This study analyzes GSR distribution from 9 × 19 mm ammunition along the trajectory with a fixed target. GSR particle count follows a bell-shaped distribution, influenced by velocity, temperature, and burn rate. Understanding this pattern aids in modeling GSR dispersion based on muzzle-to-target distance, improving forensic analysis of shooting incidents. The kinematic behavior of GSR particles observed in this study facilitated the identification of the region exhibiting the highest deposition. The peak particle deposition was detected along the projectile trajectory, specifically at 100-130 cm from the muzzle end, in the direction of fire. This facilitated the identification of the distance at which the probability of obtaining maximum GSR particles is possible. This aids forensic investigations, providing insights into the trajectory, and identifying the potential region of maximum GSR deposition. A significant influence of distance on the number of GSR particle deposition was observed in the study. The study highlights the necessity of GSR collection along the trajectory, where retrieval probability is higher than at the muzzle or target. A methodology using the Trasoscan Laboratory Imaging System (TLIS) for GSR detection and counting is proposed. TLIS demonstrates potential as a primary imaging tool, with analytical data represented as particle frequency in the shooting vicinity. SEM analysis reveals significant deviations in GSR size distribution across muzzle, trajectory, and target, enhancing accuracy by identifying GSR-dense areas for more precise forensic conclusions. The largest GSR particles were recovered from the target distance (470-500 cm), suggesting surface modifications upon impact, which can be instrumental in estimating the shooting distance. The proposed approach could be implemented in current analytical pipelines or caseworks.</p>","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143614313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
