Molecular-genetics analysis of 15 STR loci in sibship testing in isolated rural Bosnian population – the use of the grey zone
Aim Examination of the effectiveness of STR loci in proving sibship of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian village of Orahovica andthe formation of a “grey zone“.Methods The probability of sibship was determined by calculating the likelihood ratio (LR) parameter for each of the 15 observedSTR loci and for each of the pairs of relatives and non-re...

Morphometric analysis of clinically significant parameters of the main trunk of the left coronary artery
Aim To determine the value of angles between the left coronary artery main trunk (LMT) and its branches, the anterior interventricular branch (LAD) and the circumflex branch (CX), and their possible relationship with the LMT length. Methods A total of 29 cadaveric hearts were used. The left coronary artery and its branches were dissected. The heart...

Digital dermatoglyphics in the evaluation of the genetic basis of breast cancer in Bosnian-Herzegovinian population - quantitative analysis
AimTo determine differences in quantitative traits of digital dermatoglyphics between breast cancer women and the women in the control group (healthy women). Methods This case-control study included digital dermatoglyphics of 50 patients with confirmed breast cancer diagnosis compared with 50 healthy examinees with the absence of familial history o...
